Pinnacles National Monument Abloom



A mid-week trip to the Pinnacles was the highlight of spring blooms so far this year. While the Shooting Stars are virtually finished the Virgin's Bower was in its glory along with lots of belly flowers and the Indian Paint Brush was ablaze. An early Bitterroot is pictured. I have never seen it so green in the 12 years I have made my annual spring trek to this amazing park. Three condors were sighted (one adult and two juvenile) while hiking up Condor Gulch--how appropriate!
