It was a beautiful day for a stroll down Bullhead trail. I went on a wildflower hunt. I was super excited to see this lone trillium toward the top of the mountain. That means I should start seeing them in camp soon. It was a nice day for a hike. Not too much sun but enough to warm things up a bit. Chris and I could see the burnt area on Rainbow Falls trail. It is still closed due to downed trees and possible fire. Yesterday was another day in the sixties. 62 degrees was our high with 50º as the low. We had a busy mountain for Mother's Day. I guess a lot of mothers wanted this as their special outing. Can't say I blame them.

Beautiful picture of Trillium, Allyson, my favorite wildflower. I'm still waiting for ours to bloom in WNC. Everything is blooming a tad late this spring. Maybe I'll be able to catch your trilliums later this month. Thanks for sharing.

Guys I did my 1st hike up yesterday mothers day and came up on alum trail. At age 57 myself and my army paratrooper brother of the same age made it to the top, but his knees killed him going down. He probably wont come back to leconte with me just because of the knee pain but I will be back and staying a couple nights soon. !!!
