What A Maroon

We saved the best for last for our hiking weekend. Maroon Bells is quintessential Colorado. It's probably one of the most photographed locations. Since running up a mountain isn't my thing, I broke away from the group to look at wildflowers. Besides, some of the scenery reminded me of the Forest Moon of Endor. I'll let nature speak for itself. The pictures don't do justice to how absolutely beautiful it was at this National Forest. 

Colorado's state flower, the Columbine, grows wild here.
