Wildflowers still going crazy

This has been one of the best wildflower seasons in recent memory. In the high country and even the not-so-high country, meadows and forests are still covered in a blanket of bright flowers.

I was on some BLM land near Guffey on Saturday, where Indian paintbrush still glowed in the flat open country in shades of blood-red and orange. This wildflower-framed photo was taken on the Timberline Trail in the Holy Cross Wilderness.
