Summer's Arrival
Finally saw some wild flowers up at Reflection Lake. It is amazing the difference that 3 weeks of hot weather can make. Last time I was up the lake was still 80% covered in snow. Now the flowers are popping up everywhere. This was a bit of a bitter sweet trip. I set out to make the hike to Comet Falls (whick I did) but upon my arrival I found that most of the area was covered in snow still. After getting my butt kicked in 90 degree weather and climing 1,000 feet in elevation with all of my equipment over a two mile span. I expected to be able to see a little bit more. For those that plan to make the hike (To Comet Falls) I would recommend September. It should be much better by then.
This was one of the last shots I got before I called it a day and went home.
