Went for a hike!

Today was a great day, I spent most of the day in the visitor's center answering questions and giving tours, all the fun stuff rangers get to do. But to top it all off I took a hike after work with some of my fellow rangers! It was great. We saw quite a few wild flowers, one of the rangers I was with is giving a guided hike tomorrow and needed some ideas of what to talk about on the trail...either way I took a bunch of pictures of the wildflowers because they are starting to bloom! It is quite beautiful! We also climbed some buttes...as usual haha. Enjoy the pictures!

This is a cotton wood tree

notice the cotton!

We got rained on a little

This is called the Jones-Creek Trail...dont know why exactly

The creek water is pretty gross...it is because of the coal, clinker and mud it flows through

Ok well I don't know the name of any of these flowers exactly soo just enjoy how pretty they are!

I liked the pictures I got of this flower, which is why there are several...sorry

Me, and my two ranger friends on top of a butte.

These are some sort of prairie plum, apparently they are edible.

We had to climb it.

Haha

Itch Itch Itch

Wish I could have gotten a better view of the sunset cus it was beautiful.

Cotton from the trees.

COTTON!
