San Juan Wildflower Report

Hi folks, Just back from scouting our upcoming Wildflower Photography Workshop. I checked out some of my favorite locations outside of Silverton, Colorado. Nada, nothing, zilch. We're probably 10 days - 2 weeks from prime wildflower photography in the San Juan Mountains. We've rescheduled this summer's workshop for July 25th and 26th. email kit@kitfrost.com to register. There is limited space left in the workshop.

I did see some brook cress along the creeks on the way from Durango to Silverton, at Lime Creek especially. And a friend reported that the lily ponds are blooming at the Spud Lake trailhead. If you've only got this weekend to go out and play then I'd choose the West side of the La Plata Mountains outside of Mancos.

By the way, the waterfalls are flowing beautifully. Check out Mineral and Ice Creeks just off Mineral Creek Road 2 miles north west of Silverton. Walk up creek and explore. Photographing creek falls requires a tripod and in my humble opinion a cloudy moment.
