Colorado River from Mack Ridge, McInnis Canyons NCA, western Colorado.
Matt and I went to Mack Ridge this weekend to scout out a volunteer trail work project he's planning for
National Public Lands Day.
Friends of McInnis Canyons, a non-profit group I manage, will be sending volunteers and is sponsoring a big BBQ at the end of the day. The trail work will add another 1/2 mile of mountain biking trail to create a loop for beginner to intermediate riders.
I was shocked to see, at the beginning of August in the middle of the desert, some tiny pink wildflowers all over the place! These flowers are less than 1/4 inch in diameter, so if you’re not looking, you could easily miss these beauties! I was surprised at how green everything was, considering the fact that it hasn’t rained in months, and it has been over 90° for more than 50 days straight (a record in this area).
