Back to Trillium

We didn't want to make the full 2 hour hike along Trillium, but Sandra and I did want to take a look.

The Green Season


Yes, the area was dressed in green and lots of flowers were in bloom. As a comparison, check out my post from last year about Trillium.

Blooming in the Light


In fact, all the growth crowded the trail in spots.

A Trail?


You can see the bluff in the background and the trail to the lower left. In center, you can notice several wildflowers in full bloom. The insects were simply enthralled as bees, butterflies, and others were flirting from one flower to the next. It was a bit of a tight squeeze passing along the trail, because we didn't want to disturb the flowers with all their flying guests.

We went only a little ways along the bottom portion of the cliff and then turned around. It's amazing how life finds space...

...even along sheer faces of rock.

The Root of the Matter


Trillium was the last trail that we visited on the trip as we headed out of the park for another type of trail.
