White Flower Special
Although still coughing and hacking, we decided on another hike -- to the Kettle Ponds. This was a hike of just over 6 miles with a modest 800' of elevation gain, but at + 9500'.
In the end, it was not the prettiest hike around (not a lot of open views and tons of trees down and across the trail), but we did find a lot of white flowers, mostly along the water's edge of the creeks we crossed. I should say, LOTS of white flowers.
From my assessment, there were 3 different species of plants, even if they all look a lot alike.
And it is always fun to take pictures of Alicia on the bridges.
North Rock Creek
Alicia confidently crossing the North Rock Creek
First of the flowers, or flouahs: White Marsh Marigold
Different species -- note the number of petals and shape of the stamen: White Globeflower
Alicia remains confident as we cross the South Rock Creek
I like these! Big bunch of white globeflowers
You have arrived at your destination, unnamed lake.
Looks like another species to me, - different leaf structure, or maybe the same as the others, but "brand new"
