Letters to a friend...: Crested Butte - wildflower's capital of the USA - Snodgrass trail. Independence Day 2019 trip, part 8

About this blog:

We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...

And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.

Crested Butte - wildflower's capital of the USA - Snodgrass trail. Independence Day 2019 trip, part 8

Crested Butte is the wildflower capital of the USA. You can hear it here and there, so that day we wanted to make sure it was true and drove from Gunnison to see it with our own eyes (click here to see - Town of Gunnison. Independence Day 2019 trip, part 7 )...

And... I have to say... it is true. The town is located between the mountain ranges, and in July the slopes around it are covered with wildflowers... The peak of blooming usually occurs in mid-July, but on the 4th of July we found plenty of blossoms there too.

There are hundreds of trails you can choose from, or you can hike within the city limits and still see plenty of vibrant colors there. We chose the Snodgrass Trail... for no particular reason, actually...

And the hike didn't disappoint at all... Honestly, I have never seen so many flowers in one place! It was an absolutely magical experience and we enjoyed every second of it!
