It seems forgotten things are trivial in comparison to the extreme beauty we encountered on our journey. Ouray greeted us with weather, the likes we have not had in our arid Arizona climate. A welcome sight to see raindrops dancing off the window, amidst the heavy clouds that seemed to get stuck at mountain tops.We met up with some fellow Arizonians to explore a trail called Yankee Boy Basin.
Compared to the trails we frequent in Arizona, these are not as difficult, but provide a different brand of beauty then we are accustom. Because of the extreme amount of snow that fell this previous winter, the very top of Yankee Boy was snowed over. We did manage to get to a point in which we could go no further . This area is known for its wildflowers. They were not in full bloom quite yet because of the heavy snow. You cannot possibly take in all of the beauty that surrounds you...immersing yourself helps.We returned to the hotel to mingle with other summiteers that arrived early.
Re-acquainting with friends, made last year.

Ouray is one of my favorite places. I have been there twice, and one was the first time I could ever get my wife to go Wheeling. She loved it, we had only the one weekend, but managed to get four trails in.
The picture on the top of my blog was taken from above the Tom Boy Mine.
