Emigration Canyon to Cave

I had a gut feeling that the cold spring would mean the wildflowers were behind schedule this year. Nonetheless, our hike in Emigration Canyon tonight was enjoyable and was the first ever stroller hike for our youngest attendee! When we reached the cave, it was 50 degrees and there was a patch of snow nearby. Water was dripping right through the rock of the cave ceiling and was over a foot deep on the cave floor. Back to the wildflowers, the arrowleaf balsamroots were just getting started, there were lots of forget-me-nots and glacier lilies which are usually gone by the spring wildflowers peak. This hike should be spectacular right around Memorial Day weekend. See rest of photos here.
