CAUTION TO HIKERS
 
Poodle-dog bush or Common turricula is everywhere from about mile 410 to 437+.  It is very concentrated around Mt. Gleason area or Mile 428 to 430.  This bush can cause skin irritation similar to poison oak.  If you plan on hiking in this area review images, symptoms and treatments before hiking in this area.  Currently the plant is not showing the flowers so learn to identify it with and without flowers.
