An amazing, too-short camping trip: we set up our tent by the lake at 6000 ft. and hiked up above the tree line to 7600 ft. Though we saw signs of goats and kept a sharp eye out, we didn’t spy any. We did ask a ranger we met where we could see them- if you’re at sunrise camp at dawn they are milling around.

Tasty berries=several vaccinium sp.
Dodecatheon
Bright pink Mimulus
Bathing in ice cold waterfall
Veratrum
Jacob’s ladder
Lupins, several sp.
Indian paintbrush
Gentians
Mariposa!
etc, etc all growing together.
