A hike in Wild Basin in June means that the hunt for a calypso orchid is on. A flash of pink/purple in the foilage beneath the pine trees is the only clue you receive. Finally, we were rewarded by one of the elusive flowers.
Bushwhacking up several hundred feet from the trail, through juniper bushes and loose rocks, we arrived at the larger of the Twin Lakes. This lake provides the perfect foreground for a view into the upper reaches of Wild Basin.
A short hike through the boulders and plenty of spider webs and we emerged at the smaller of the twin lakes. Lily pads are starting to spread out across its surface.
