In July 2009, Mike, Ethan and their wives were lucky enough to attend a wedding in Big Sky, Montana. On a hike to a neighboring peak, they were treated to a show of local wildflowers in full bloom. Many of our friends and customers tend to forget that wildflowers are just that - wild, naturally-occurring flowers that can bring a hillside alive with color. Often, the blooms themselves are small and delicate, but together they often carpet the landscape.
Take a look at some of these western alpine favorites, such as Indian Blanket, Forget-Me-Nots, Asters and Lupines and next time you take a hike, bring your camera. We always love to see your photos and hear your stories!
