From the tiny trailhead tucked away behind Allenspark, in four short miles you can hike up to a magical place. From the summit of Meadow Mountain, you can peer into all of Wildbasin. Meeker, Longs, Pagoda and Chiefshead tower to the north. Alice, Tanima, Mahana rise to the west.
Copeland and the St Vrain glaciers fill the southwest skyline. And the plains can be seen to the east.
Gentians are flowering over the tundra, replacing the alpine avens and other midsummer flowers. Too soon those first frosts will come to these high meadows.
