Flowers, Flat Tops Scenic Byway


These flowers were on the Flat Tops Scenic Byway about half way between Meeker and Yampa Springs, Colorado, just east of the Trappers Lake turn-off. The Byway was a beautiful ride although I never heard the end of the fact only 41 of its 82 miles were paved. The gravel portions were posted 40 MPH, but with washboarding 25 was pushing it at times. We drove this in the summer of 2003 stopping a couple times, once to play in the June snow and another to have a picnic. We also saw mule deer, elk and an eagle this day. A larger size of this picture graces my living room wall.
