A large brown sign, pointing the way to the entrance of Potwisha Campground from the Generals Highway — NPSEarly blooming lupin flowers. If you are from Texas, you will try to call these bluebonnets. In California they are lupins. Yes I have had this argument with a friend. — NPSPOTWISHA CAMPGROUNDPotwisha Campground — NPSTrailhead and sign for the marble falls trail. On the left is the trail sign, with information about the trail and what you will find on it. To the right is the trail itself, dirt and gravel, with grass and local trees growing up alongside it. It is very green because this is an image from spring. It is not normally green. — NPSPOTWISHA CAMPGROUNDPOTWISHA CAMPGROUND
