George and I took a trip into the mountains to check out some scenery and find a few trout along the way. The snow pack has produced a wonderland of lush meadows coated in wildflowers. The amount of water this year has been unbelievable. We had the countryside to ourselves as the threat of a late day thunderstorm and a bit of wind seemed to have kept everyone else at home. We did eventually get stormed on and it cut our day a little shorter than we had hoped. I think we made the right decision to head for the car and skip the cutthroat trout lake in favor of hiking out. We ended the day watching a pair of bull moose browsing a creek at the top of the pass.

Beautiful colors were everywhere, on fish and flowers alike. The high country does not disappoint.
