Ian and I reconvened our hiking club, and this year Miles is joining us. We started with an easy hike inside of Red Butte Garden, it was just over 2 miles with an easy 387 foot ascent. Here's the route we took:
The hills are covered with arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata). It was the perfect time to visit, since they are all in bloom.
We saw a lot of this little beauty, wild phlox (Phlox longifolia).
Here is Ian at the deer gate.
