Wildflower Cruise: Crested Butte

[SteveT]

My wife Laura and I had a wonderful time with our first trail and camping trip with the club. Everyone was welcoming and sharing. Thanks to @Yarn Cruiser, @DomOfTheDead and @Ann for their organizational efforts to spawn a new and ongoing future trips of this nature. I’ve attached some pictures for your enjoyment. A lot of panoramic pictures I took are too large to load here. We passed on doing the Punch Bowl trail and instead ended up doing the Scarp Trail north of Irwin Lake. One of the most relatively short above tree line scenic trails we’ve done in a long long long time.

I learned how to attach reduced resolution image. The last one is from the Scarp Trail looking into the area of the Wildflower Cruise. It doesn’t do the original justice.

Your pictures are fantastic! Thanks for sharing. It was great meeting you guys!

@SteveT the pictures are amazing! Super glad you were able to join up with us. Looks like you found some different flowers as well, I will bust out one of the guides later. 😆

We will also post pictures from the camera soon. We had a lot to go through.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in this, it was lots of fun and very memorable. @Yarn Cruiser has been working on this idea for a while now and it was awesome to see it happen. Thanks to Brandi for organizing and leading our first day, to @Ann and Jake for helping set it up, @hitchhiker for expert group lead the second day and through the punchbowl.
