While most of the aspen trees are still green, some stands are beginning to burst with color. Following the Roaring River up the Lawn Lake trail, older aspen were standing tall, while the new trees, growing since the flood in 1982, provided brilliant color lower down.
Halfway towards Lawn Lake, we made a right turn and started climbing. In 3/4 of a mile and 2000 feet higher, we arrived at Bighorn Mountain. The view across to the Mummy Range - Chapin, Chiquita, Ypsilon, Fairchild, Mummy and Hagues was incredible - I felt like I could reach out and touch them.
Our group on the summit - Gordie, Clyde, Carl and Ken.
Maggie and Muneca on Bighorn - I've heard it is always windy up there, and today was no exception. Muneca could not pose for a photo op on her own.
