On a warm spring day I paddled around Stake Lake twice, then hiked on the trails around the lake for a two hour outing.    While hiking, I stopped to enjoy south of the wildflowers and flowering shrubs along the way.    Shared here are:

• Robbin’s milkvetch (Astralagus robinsii)
• Drummond’s rockcress (Boechera stricta)
• harsh paintbrush (Castilleja hispida)
• heart-leaved arnica (Arnica cordifolia)
• red columbine (Aquilegia formosa)
• black twinberry (Lonerica involucrata)

I will be back to hike the Stake Lake Trails again soon.
