Hi everyone. This is just a quick note to inform those who might be interested that the Snowy Range is as good as it's going to get this summer right now. The Lakes Trail across from Lookout Lake is packed with columbine - this trail has by far the highest cocnentration of columbine in the Snowies - and conditions have not yet dried out. This weekend would be a great time to photograph in the Snowies. I'm sorry that I don't have any pics to post from my family hike there yesterday, but take my word for it!

Brett,
I agree -- just drove in from there now. I went to Shelf Lake via N & S Gap. Even just off the roads there are monks hood, delphiniums, arnica, fireweed, etc.

Monika, that is my favorite hike in the Snowies! Glad you had a chance to do it. Even though the flowers this year are a bit below average, they are still excellent.
