About half the trail is on strangely sloped boardwalk with many steps along the way to protect the delicate sub alpine flowers and vegetation. This area is covered with wildflowers and many little waterfalls from 6 inches to larger distant ones.
The trail is described as a series of 'hanging gardens' and it crosses one after another as it climbs the rock ledges at the base of Mt. Elbert.
The snow was still melting on the mountain and it made lots of waterfalls coming off the mountain as we circled around it toward the Hidden Lake Overlook.
Part 2 will include photos of the Lake Overlook area, our destination and lunch stop.
