Lucky Peak April 30 2021
|
When we first moved here, (decades ago now) we would look out the window and say "Another beautiful day in Paradise". Half joking, of course, but the weather in this part of Idaho was enviable. That enviable weather is back, at least for a bit. The heat and smoke of last summer and fall is momentarily forgotten, and Jasper and I just enjoyed the view from Lucky Peak. It was unusually green because of a few very welcome days of rain.

Wild Lupines blooming

The lupines are already blooming, and the ticks and cheat grass have yet to make an appearance, making hiking here absolutely heavenly. Arrow Leaf Balsamroot is also in full throat, along with a little pink groundcover flower that is just everywhere.
Later in the summer, ticks and cheat grass will make this hike pretty much un-doable, so I am particularly grateful to be here. So is Jasper.
Oh! And the sagebrush is also blooming, so the smell is heavenly.
