Wildflowers Cascading Over Cashmere Hills

I began this hike on a different trail, but chance changed everything. Fellow hikers mentioned another hillside where the wildflowers were “absolutely amazing,” so I turned back, mapped the spot, and hurried there as the sun dropped low. When I arrived, golden light swept across a lupine and balsamroot superbloom with the Enchantments behind. I raced to find the perfect alignment before the light faded, capturing this natural masterpiece at its radiant peak.
