Larkspur & Lupine, Steamboat Rock Photo (c) David Hagen
After seeing graybeard's photos in his trip report on Steamboat Rock, I decided to get over there while the flowers were still good. I arrived about noon & set up camp in the state park campground, had lunch, and headed for the top. I walked counterclockwise, but seldom on the trail because the flower fields were often in the interior. The lupine, larkspur, & senecio were still spectacular, though the lupine is starting to go (if you want to catch it, go now!). I also saw quite a few deer & a coyote. As it was Thursday, I only saw a couple of other people. The wind was mostly calm and the skies were sunny. It was a wonderful afternoon.
