It's wildflower time and the crop is pretty good this year. Despite the lack of moisture in June and part of July, the dependable monsoonal flow has kicked in. The temperatures are now cooler and there is usually at least a little moisture every day. Due to the good snow season we had, there is still quite a bit of snow to be found in upper elevations. There is still a substantial snowplug blocking the Emerald Lake road access, so it's a longer hike than usual to Aspen over West Maroon Pass. But the flowers are spectacular and the additional mileage is worth it!
