Jim,

I'm no expert on California native plants, but as a milkweed enthusiast I'll suggest a nearly spent Asclepias californica.

I'd agree as A. eriocarpa is absent in this area.

Del Puerto Canyon and the roads that complete the crossing of the hills are an amazing crossing of the ridges there.

I went from Modesto to the top.  Seemed the wind was in front of me both ways...  That was 40 years ago.
