I haven't been up to Mount Ord yet this month, so I figured that today was a good day to change that.

It was cool on the way up, and the breeze at the summit made it almost seem cold. However, I was down to shirt sleeves on the way back down FR-27.

There were no wildlife sightings today, but there were a few isolated wildflowers blooming. Next month I think that there will be enough wildflowers to make the FR-27 portion of the hike at least a little interesting.

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
Gooding's Verbena won the wildflower derby today, with western wallflower, fleabane, and spreading phlox also showing up. There should be some more flowers in the coming weeks -- in particular, I saw lots of Colorado Four O'Clock popping up, and they should be putting on a show before too very long.
