WIldflowers

We went camping last weekend with two other families and on one of our hikes, we came across a beautiful field of wildflowers!! We were at the top of Guanella Pass (about 12,000 feet) hiking around with the kids and were amazed how beautiful the flowers were.



Lupinus caudatus "Wild Lupine"



Pink Indian Paintbrush



Yellow Indian Paintbrush



Ranunculus eschscholtzii "subalpine buttercup"



Sedum lanceolatum
"Yellow Stonecrop"



Wild Strawberries



The wild strawberries were growing all around the campsite and area. Only a few of the plants I saw were mature enough for strawberries.

The view from the top of the pass was also amazing:



The trail behind our campground revealed an area where people (likely boyscout campers) had erected tee-pees and small cabin structures. The kids each found a great walking stick in that area, as well.




Hope you're all having a beautiful summer as well!
