The rain all May had me thinking that this would be the best wildflower year EVER! So I really wanted to do the Crested Butte hike around the beginning of August but couldn’t make it until yesterday…… turned out to be perfect timing!!!! I have never seen the flowers like this before. It turned into an eight hour hike with nearly 200 photos along the way (normally it is a 6 to 6.5 hour hike for me over West Maroon Pass starting at the Maroon Bells trailhead – I am not a particularly fast hiker!). My daughter couldn’t come and I was sad for her to miss this amazing display of stunning beauty but I did make a Shutterfly book 🙂 It was Todd’s first CB hike and I told him he truly got the best of it!
