Tworoose Pass Trail

This scenic Utah trailhead is close to home

Starting at 8500 feet, we ride along a rocky trail lined with serviceberry,

with plenty of balsamroot and Indian paintbrush in bloom,

These unknown yellow flowers set off the view.

Cliff-rose are also in bloom. 

Much of the trail is shaded by aspen, dressed in spring green.

A forest service sign points out the Tworoose Pass trail.

When we reach 10,500, we can gaze across a mile-long meadow toward the base of Duck Peak (11,500 ft) .  

A deep snowdrift still remains where spruce shades the ground. 

Miniature bluebells bloom in the high meadow. 

This bittercress is also tiny, but perfect, and blooming profusely in the sub-alpine terrain.
