Hike June 4, 2019

I was beginning to think this day would never come.  We had an epic snow winter, which at times resulted in San Juan snowpack of 600% of normal.  Trails are still very limited.  But, a hike in the mountains is better than the desert any day in my opinion.  I could not go very high on this hike - again due to the snowpack.  A small hike is better than no hike at all.  I met a guy from Arizona 6 times on this hike - he was running up and down the mountain.  He ran up and down the trail 3 times while I was walking it once.  It makes no sense to me - running and watching your feet!

Views like this never get old!

Selesca Pond June 3, 2019

I'd been getting really anxious to get up in the mountains.  So, I tried to go as high on the plateau as possible.  I couldn't get much above the Selesca Ranger Station due to lots of snow still blocking the road.  I decided to take a little hike anyway and see what I could find.

Lots of water and a few flowers

Noisy frogs in all that water

Does scratching off their winter coat

Glacier lily - a sure sign of spring
