\"Guide<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2012, I suffered another injury – 2 herniated discs<\/a> in my lower back. I spent the summer of 2012 focusing on healing and making my body whole again, and I was able to evade surgery. Through the healing process, I had to take a step back from the bike as it was painful for my lower back. But, hiking was not. And so I hiked.<\/p>\n

I hiked for a few miles at first. But, by the end of the summer, it was normal for me to rack up hikes that were 14 to 18 miles in length.<\/p>\n

Although injuries suck, I’ve always said that good things can come of injuries as well. For one, that was the year I started our Crested Butte Hiking Guide<\/a>. It’s also the year that I really started to tackle learning about the wildflowers in our area. It turns out that when you slow down, you notice a lot more. With hiking, I was forced to slow down compared to biking, and I started to observe much more about our lovely Crested Butte wildflowers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That has evolved over time. The last two years, we have been posting photos of wildflowers on Wednesdays through our social media accounts under #wildflowerwednesday. Now, it’s time to do something with those posts. Hence, the birth of our guide to Crested Butte Wildflowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For now, we only have photos we have already published under #wildflowerwednesday – and although there’s a lot of flowers, it’s still just a small sample of the flowers that color Crested Butte. But, don’t worry, we have a backlog of photos that we’ll be publishing this summer, and for many more wildflower seasons to come. It turns out, there’s a whole lot of kinds of wildflowers in Crested Butte!<\/p>\n
