After a couple of unseasonably rainy days, the sun was back out in force for our hike up Mt Audubon in the Indian Peaks. Cool temperatures accompanied us all day, but there was only the slightest of breezes at the summit, making it hard to pick up our packs for the return trip.

The wildflowers were once again incredible up on the tundra. Alpine Avens were carpeting any open area of tundra that wasn't already occupied by another flower.

Don, Peter, Margot and Dan at the summit of Mt Audubon. Blue sky and puffy white clouds meant we could relax and contemplate an afternoon nap in the sun.

Old Man in the Mountain was everywhere on the slopes, along with plenty of Sky Pilot. Big rooted spring beauty was blooming in every rock crevice in the talus on the final push to the summit. Others blooming: forget-me-not, fairy primrose, moss campion, phlox, alpine pedicularis, alp lily, columbine, chiming bells - what wasn't blooming?
