Thought it was about time for this thread to pop up. Here is one from somewhere on the Guanella Pass Road a few days ago.

Re: Wildflowers 2020
Wildflowers in the San Juans are near peak right now. Here are some Alpine Sunflowers (Old-man-of-the-mountain) from last weekend.

Did a hike today called Halsey Pass Loop starting from Schofield Park, near Crested Butte. Still amazing up there!
