I followed the creek up to the Mammary Lakes.

A good place to stop for lunch.

Nearby, the strange-coloured green-blue gentian was finally flowering a month late.  Most Northamerican gentians do not open wide.  The peculiar colour of this one would indicate that it attracts a very specific pollinator.  Because of the narrow opening, the pollinator would either have a very long tongue or be able to crawl inside.

I hiked to the saddle at the left of the mammaries.  There are always snow patches there and the dogs make straight for them.

Now I started to climb the Mammaries.  Half way up I was amazed to find several clumps of Moss Campion in full bloom.

It is amazing where they grow!
