Bikers in Lair o' the Bear Park passed Colleen and I hiking back to the trailhead. Because she's a biker, Colleen has a keen ear for the sound of an approaching bike. Several times she pulled me to the side of the trail so the biker wouldn’t loose speed and we were safe. I didn’t hear the bikers so it was a funny surprise to suddenly find myself being moved quickly off the trail!

A brilliant golden sunset accompanied us back to the trailhead. Thanks to my Kup Kollar (bottle wrap) slowing the melting of the ice chunk, there was still a tiny sliver of ice left so the last few drops of water were still cool! 

This was my favorite flower on the hike. If you know what the name of it is, please post a comment!
