It's on the ridge above Harry's Ridge and Spirit Lake. (You may remember me pointing out the ridge when we did our hike) That's where we encountered the snowfields too. And last year we had an abnormally warm and dry spring, so the flowers bloomed early and the snow was gone by early June. <br /><br />Glad to jog your memory of a Linda W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00805197763483105000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630767188230598013.post-36898794058503930262017-08-07T16:33:39.518-07:002017-08-07T16:33:39.518-07:00Fantastic!
