The weather was right--sunny sometimes; cloudy other times; rain none. Eleven hikers made it to the top of the mesa, following the Colorado Trail (with Pat, one of it's builders). About one half trudged up to the peak of Baldy Cinco mountain (13,300'), with one report that it may have been tougher than the 14er ascended a week ago.
We enjoyed the company and vigorous endurance of two visitors.
Subalpine and alpine flowers and insects won our attention and curiosity. Please check out my guesses and let me know the correct names. --Doug Knudson douglasfir636@gmail.com
