Zoom

12.5 miles of hiking • 3250' elevation gain •

Spent about eight hours, just wandering aimlessly around the syncline area. Started at Catherine Creek, took a new (to me) ridgeline up to the upper level, then followed the twistiest-turniest far-off-the-beaten-trail down towards the Labyrinth. Looped back up Coyote Wall, met some new trail friends along the way, crossed over the high-line again, before finally coming down along the power lines back to the TH. Flowers were coming into stride; probably peaking in another week or two?

You spotted so many great flowers, Karl. Many of these I don't recognize, but I'm no expert. Fantastic wanderings!

I didn't know half of them, but with a little help from friends I think I have all but a couple ID'd now! Amazing flower show that day. Might have to get back out there (at least) once more before it's over. :-)
