Gilia and Asters
Clusters of purple asters and a few bright spangles of Scarlet Gilia (Ipomopsis aggregata) dot the meadows near Lost Lake Slough in the West Elk Mountains, Gunnison National Forest, Colorado.
We had hoped to camp by the lake, but finding an open spot during the summer of 2020 proved difficult, as a surge of people sought to escape the fear of Covid in the great out-of-doors, us among them. Although we were forced to move on and find somewhere else for the evening, the walk around Lost Lake is a treat in any season.
