Soon, these little flowers will be popping up all over the trails in Rocky Mountain National Park. Aspen Asters are some of the most common flowers you’ll find.
Wild flowers are found all over the national park just about every where you look. The can range in size from the size to your pinky fingernail to the size of you hand or even larger. The peak season for wildflowers is between June and late July. I hope to take more pictures of some other wildflowers in the park this summer. Stay tuned to future Saturday Snapshots
This Aspen Aster was taken on a hike in the Wild Basin Area south of Estes Park just before you reach Allenspark. This hike is one of my favorite Hikes in the Park passing Copeland Falls, Calypso Cascades, and eventually Ouzel Falls.
Next time you are on the trail keep your eyes open for flowers. I think you’ll be amazed at the variety.
