I was pleasantly surprised this summer to see so many wildflowers up on the Grand Mesa. In my years with NPN, I don't recall seeing many wildflower shots taken up there. Maybe not as lush and nice as say Yankee Boy, but decent at any rate, and definitely worth a look. Next summer I intend to explore a lot more up there!
I took this last Sat. morning from the Crag Crest Trail, about a mile or so from the trailhead. There was plenty of sneezeweed, nodding sunflowers, larkspur, yarrow, purple asters, goldenrod, paint, even a lupine here and there.

Nice shot Angela, it has been an incredible year for wildflowers and the season just seems to go on. It looks like you are enjoying your move to Colorado!

Nice color. Like the lake in the background as well.
