| no partners | | Along with my son, sister, and nephew, we left the others at camp and headed out towards Escudilla Trail. Started our hike around 7am and reached the peak a little short of 2 hours later. Wildflowers everywhere and the young apsen (post Wallow fire) are coming in thick. Still, hate to see all the dead burnt trees cluttering up the scene. What a waste of good lumber.
Gonna be a long time before Escudilla regains the beauty it was once know for. I'm hoping in another 30-40 years I will be healthy enough to get one more last look at the new aspen in all their golden autumn glory. Barring anymore of these out of control wildfire disasters, future generations will again enjoy the best of what Escudilla has to offer. We had a good time and enjoyed the views, so I guess you could say nature is already at work repairing its wounds. |

Wildflowers Observation Moderate
Came across an open meadow that was covered in purple lupines. Plenty of other wildflowers along the trail, but nothing that I would describe as Substantial or Extreme. |
