Don't suppose you have a zoomed in pic of that little waterfall on the opposite side, do you? That is sweet ( the whole pic)!

When we were in the Indian Peaks in August, there were plenty of wildflowers.
Mostly these yellow ones, not sure what they're called. Maybe Daisys

Ken and I have really enjoyed our hikes in Indian Peaks Wilderness. Blue Lake was the first one we did. Thanks for the memories!

Blue lake is one of my favorite hikes in the Indean Peaks Wilderness Area. Have you ever been to Upper Blue Lake?

I attempted to reach Upper Blue Lake last summer, and turned back due to weather, however it is on my todo list for this next summer.

Never been. That hike was our first trip into Indian Peaks. This summer, we're going to try a few on the west side of IP.
