"Mayflower Gulch Sunrise" // Link in bio. Mountain sunrise shinning over wildflowers. Wildflower season is a special time in Colorado. After the long winter snow the fields of Colorado blossom with colorful flowers. The peak of the season is typically in July and may extend into mid August with a rainy summer. Many towns hold wildflower festivals to celebrate this colorful summer season.

When I think about running away to the mountains, I think about last summer in Crested Butte. This four mile hike was stunning and pure serotonin: Wildflowers. Streams. Snow capped mountains in the distance. This was one of those hikes where every step, every turn, had me thanking God for His beautiful creation, and whispering, "this is gorgeous." I cannot wait to get back out there and explore some more in this area!
