Yankee Basin Flowers
We started the day out of Siverton and went over the Ophir Pass. On the way back when we got to Ouray, we decided to go up to Yankee Basin. The drive wasn't too challenging, and the views were pretty spectacular. We stopped next to a series of waterfalls and this field of flowers.
When we were researching the trails, we found out that July is when the flowers bloom in the high country. Boy were they right as you can see. We were above 10,000 most of the time, and we saw flowers along every trail we drove on. I'm definitely going to try to come back again. We left a lot of trails unexplored.
