Recently Karen took us on a hike up Sasse Mountain. She had so many great photos from the trip we couldn’t get them all in one article! So here are the wildflowers she ran across on the trail.

There are still great wild flowers to be viewed in this area, but by mid July most of the show will be over. Get out there soon to see the best!
