Venturing up Big Cottonwood onna Saturday can be risky. I faced a hundred road bike hill climbers, mountain bike race, the trendy s curve trailhead, etc

Made it past Silver Lake and Brighton parking (no honey bees or thistle were seen nor harmed).

An option? It's spendy.
Columbines are out.

or close.

That's enough.

They got color. Alpine phlox,

anemone

monument flower

Bumblebees

like um!

A daisy

Not so crowded on top.
