I've seen a few photos of profuse wildflower blooms below Factory Butte. I'm headed that way in a few days and would like to check out the conditions. Anyone mind sharing where some of these areas are and how to get to them?

Thanks!

I have noticed some images too. I hope you find them and it's not too late. :wavey:

Bret,

I was out there almost a month ago and found some. There aren't too many secrets out there; it's pretty wide-open country. Just head out 24 from Hanksville towards the butte and keep your eyes out.

Not trying to be evasive... but seriously, it's pretty easy to scout once you're there. And it's probably different now than three weeks ago.

Good luck!

Thanks, Mark. That's kind of what I figured but thought I'd ask. Looking forward to scouting the area.

Yea, I was out that way about 3 weeks ago throughout that Caineville area was a serious flush of what I believe was a small annual mustard. Believe me, it won't be difficult to find.
