Sample Colorado Wildflower Information From
"A
Guide to Colorado's Best Photography Locations" Have
you ever seen astounding
wildflower images of Colorado's mountainous region and wondered where
they
were taken. Often a vague reference to Colorado's western slope is all
that's mentioned. Well, this guide will give you detailed directions
and
maps to specific wildflower hot spots where you'll use more memory than
you thought possible. You'll also learn of other photogenic subjects
(waterfalls
and lakes) in the wildflower regions.
Below is pages 26 & 27 from the
Colorado Wildflowers section of the book.
 The
following is a sample paragraph from the Colorado wildflower photo
locations section of the book. AMERICAN BASIN Directions: Drive east out of Silverton on County Road 2; most maps also show this as Hwy 110. You'll travel through Eureka (about 7.5 miles from Silverton); in about 4 more miles, you'll approach Animas Forks. Veer right toward Engineer Pass, which will be marked by a sign. In about 1/2 mile, turn right toward Cinnamon Pass. Here the road becomes a little rougher and has precipitous sections; a 4-wheel drive is recommended. Proceed up Cinnamon Pass and descend the other side. In less than 1/2 mile after descending to tree line, turn right on Forest Road 12 (expect to begin seeing flowers here) and follow to its end at a trailhead parking lot. Total distance to American Basin from Silverton is about 18 miles. Columbine may be abundant near the parking area and many more exhibited a short distance up the trail on the east flank of the basin above the trail.
