On the spur of the moment we decided to head up Mt Evans today and we found some goats as well as lots of tundra flowers. It's my first visit so I was pleased to see the goats. Some pics here and more on pbase.com

Of course we got hailed on for our trouble.

Cute shot, Bill - thanks for the update. Is the ice totally gone from Summit Lake? Did you see any alpine sunflowers? (I'm planning to head up there tomorrow a.m.)

Cool images, Bill! What a difference a week makes. Here is a condition type photo from the weekend before from the top looking down on Summit Lake.

There were no big flowers when I was there, but there were tons of things getting ready to bloom.

Cute goats and great photo! Glad to see the update as I was planning on heading up there possibly on Thursday morning.

Summit Lake is almost free of ice, the alpine sunflowers are out, the goats have kids but otherwise look a bit scraggy. Lost of other flowers are out in full with lots more to come.

Nice shots. I really like the turkey vulture image myself.

Great stuff Bill. The difference a week is making is awesome. Its just strange how late these lakes are still ice locked this year. And the kids are really cute.
