On June 5, after a heat wave, 10 folks met and climbed what used to be a little used trail to Mt Hoffmann in the Sheep river area from Indian Oils trailhead.
The weather was cool and mostly cloudy, but at the top, the fabulous views did not disappoint despite the gathering thunderheads.
Crocuses and shooting stars were in abundance as were people. One of our group counted 40 people standing on the summit, which meant we had to wait our turn. A by-product of the pandemic I believe, as previous trips have been nearly empty of hikers.
Michelle took some beautiful photos of flowers, and there are a few summit shots. Hated to leave that incredible view, but the weather was threatening.
I think those who hadn’t traveled the road west of Turner Valley were moved by its beauty, and will want to see more of this special area.
