It would probably be the second last or last weekend of April, although I am still looking into the best time for it (dates suggestions welcome).

I would be interested. I live nearby & frequently hike/photograph in Clifton Gorge/John Bryan/Glen Helen. When I am preparing for a backpacking trip this is where I go. There is a great trail system that joins these 3 natural areas. The spring bloom can be a real treat, especially in good years. It is always a guess to figure out when will be best. That is dictated by which wildflowers you are hoping to catch and the weather. The weekend of 4/24 is a reasonable guess to get scenes like this taken 5/1/06 in Glen Helen. However, that will probably be too late for some early bloomers like bloodroot, purple trillium, etc.
