Zhanna sits on a cold stone wall along the trail, with Lewis Falls in the background.

Almost lost among all the bright colors!

Zhanna and Rich set out along one of Big Meadows’ grassy trails.

Rich stands in this lavender-colored miniature grove.

A wider view showing more of the lovely, colorful scenery.

On our last trip along Skyline Drive, Rich noticed this bear cub foraging in the weeds!
