Evening at Sunshine

One of my favorite times to be at Sunshine Meadows is in the evening after the scheduled buses have finished for the day. I have this opportunity when a private group books an evening hike like tonight. The peace and solitude is magnificent. You can see what I mean... almost.

The many colours of Indian Paintbrush

A Perfect weekend for wildflower viewing, lots of flowers on the way down to the lower lakes (Grizzly and Larix). Check out a sampling of all the different colours of Indian Paintbrush I found in bloom today.

The adage about mountain weather 'if you don't like it wait five minutes' held true today we had snow squalls, rain showers, and sunshine.
