While up in the hills the past couple of weeks, I've been blow away by how green and lush it is. I did short hike in Albion Basin this morning and it's really lush up there. Here are a few photos.
 |
| Mt. Superior is nearly snow free. In a big year, you can ski it in mid June. |
 |
| Green Greeley. Late summer turns in gunsight will be very difficult this year. |
 |
| Devil's Castle looms white over green meadows. |
 |
| Looking down the remarkably green slopes of Albion Basin. Not many wildflowers yet, but there are a few blue ones out there. |
And now for something completely different, pink (a.k.a. watermelon) snow. The color is caused by a snow algea, c
hlamydomonas nivalis.
With the Albion Basin road closed, it's far less crowded up there than it is in July and August and well worth a trip.
