Fort Ticonderoga, King’s Garden

The first garden was planted by the French in 1756 in order to feed the troops.  William Pell then planted a garden in 1820.  Loved the garden.

Rocky Mountain National Park – flowers

We hiked up the Tundra Communities Trail to see what we could see.  The hike started at 12,110’ elevation and increased by 260 feet.  The round-trip hike was only 1 mile.  It had snowed the night before so many of the flowers were surrounded by snow.  P1330484
