There is a trail in Mineral King called “The Nature Trail”, a one mile route that connects Cold Springs Campground (near the Ranger Station) to the Mineral King valley itself.
There was a meeting in the area near Cold Springs Campground, and I took the Zapato Express*, choosing to go down the trail instead of the road. We normally walk down the road and back up the trail, but I thought I’d probably be catching a ride back up and I didn’t want to miss the progression of summer along the trail.
Someone in her upper years of life requested a ride home in the 2-seater Botmobile, so I got to walk back up the trail, not a hardship by any stretch of the imagination.
*This means I walked; “zapato” means shoe in EspaƱol.

Looks glorious there, Jana. Don and I spent a couple of weeks in CO in July so we go to enjoy the mountains and lots of wildflowers. It was wonderful!
Cheryl, I would love to see the wildflowers of the Rockies, particularly the state flower of the blue Columbine.
