During our recent visit to southwestern Colorado, we were a few weeks too early to really catch any extraordinary wildflowers. There were, however, a few spots that required a stop and pictures to be taken.

Along Last Dollar Road not far from where the homestead from the movie True Grit is, the balsamroot was blooming in beautiful yellow. Clear blue skies lie above and in the distance, the rugged mountain peaks dominate the horizon.
