Before dinner we went hiking at Charleston Falls, after a long time away.  Of course the falls were beautiful, as usual.  But best of all, the rocks were full of one of my very favorite wildflowers, bright red and yellow wild columbines, growing right out of the steep cliffs.  I can’t get enough of them, they’re so amazing.  I took so many photos of them alone, I’ll devote one whole post to them.  There were lots of other beautiful wildflowers and other cool plants, and lovely streams and pools.  And last but not least—The THorny Badlands!  (I just like saying THorny Badlands.)
