Much of this trail is on high mesas above or just below tree line. Water is sometimes scarce. The trail climbs and descends often, with spectacular views in good weather. As with all high-altitude areas, storms can move in rapidly, bringing severe wind, lightning, rain, snow, or hail at any time of year. Plan accordingly. The Endlich Mesa Trail passes several old mines. The alpine meadows are full of blooming wildflowers in late July and in August. This area provides excellent views and photographic possibilities. Fishing Considerations: Between Lemon and City Reservoir brown, brook, rainbow and cutthroat trout are found. Most of these wild fish are in the 6-to-10-inch range, with larger trout in the more difficult to reach pools. Above City Reservoir, the cutthroats replace the brown trout. The fish in the upper area of the Florida are all small. No special regulations are in effect. Little Lake, Castilleja Lakes, Marie Lake, and City Reservoir are rated good for cutthroat. Please check the fishing regulations regarding limits, allowable lures, and restrictions on certain lakes, rivers, etc.
