[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] Heavily timbered slopes lie back of us (mainly spruce, balsam & poplar) but the grassy parks cover as much of the higher part of the Mts. as does the timber. Numerous cattle & horses range below us and above at timberline, but along here the grass is almost untouched. Is full of ripening seeds & could not be better feed for horses. The flower season is at its height & parks & meadows are dotted with sunflowers, Heleniums?, asters, Erigerons, Achilea, Sisyrinchium, Linum perenne, Campanula, Calochortis, Dodecatheon, Vetch, yellow & red Castiliyas & most wonderful of all a great azure blue Aquilegia with a flower 2 or 3 inches across. Strawberries are abundant & big enought to be worth picking. The creek is full of trout & apparently no one has camped in here this year. Spent the rest of the afternoon in building an ideal camp. Had a good mess of trout for supper.
Transcription Notes:
"Achilea" might be Achillia
"Castiliyas" might be Castillejas
