Our first sighting of multiple red flowers in the grassy areas next to the trail
|
|
 |
They're Indian Paintburshes and other flowers
|
|
 |
As we climb, we see more and more flowers as the grassy areas broaden into meadows
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The trail goes through large meadows
|
|
 |
There are flowers everywhere!
|
|
 |
The flowers seem to grow in stripes here
|
|
|
 |
A small pond reflects the flowers on the far side
|
|
 |
A little higher up, there flowers are mostly blue
|
|
 |
The trail on the way back down
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Raft Mountain in the background. There's a tiny point on the smaller peak, a little to the left of the hiker
|
|
 |
Snowy mountains in the distance
|
|
 |
Zooming in on that point on the peak next to Raft Mountain, we see a spire, but is it natural? A little closer there's a smaller one that's most likely a cairn.

|
|
 |
The trail returns to the trees.
