Take a Hike…

Maroon Bells under the Maroon Bells: Stolen Shots in Rustler Park

Rustler Park (Maroon Bells dead ahead over that ridge)

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you get to take a day hike in a sublime paradise. Today was my day. With two large, unbridged creek crossings to keep the riff-raff out, this spectacular high alpine wildflower hike is simply beyond words. So I won’t bother, other than to put the occasional caption on this photoessay.
