Hiking Mount Helena

Yesterday morning, my sister, Debbie, and I hiked a trail at the base of Mount Helena.  The temperature was ideal for hiking and the skies were clear of rain following several days of storms.  Better yet, all manner of wildflowers were on full display.

I captured images with my smarter-than-me-phone as we hiked along.  The photographs are of varying quality; but they tell the story.
