My wife and I butterflied Mt. Ashland today. Wildflowers are at their peak and we saw lots of butterflies. There are still a few patches of snow in the shadows in the high peaks, which is probably going to make the wildflower show last a few more weeks. Seeing a Pine White this early is unusual, I think.
