Once again, it's almost the end of the summer before I have the opportunity to hike to Sky Pond. The snow was so late in melting that it was hard to get there for most of the season. Timberline Falls may have been snow free, but plenty of water is flowing down, including the rocks you have to climb. Considering it had been raining the entire day, it was difficult to get more wet.
A rare cloudy day in Colorado somehow makes all the colors more vibrant. The water in the lakes becomes green. The granite shows its speckles and stripes. And for once, the wind was not howling as we reached the top of the falls.
I have to keep checking the date - It is September, isn't it? Columbine are still blooming in the areas where the snow has just melted.
