Glacier Lilies

This field of glacier lilies is located above Highwood Pass.  Glacier lilies are among the first wild flowers to bloom when the snow melts.  The corms were eaten by Native Americans and are still eaten by... bears.  Digging is obvious in the photo and a grizzly was spotted down near the pass the day we were there.

That was great sight to see after snow melts and glacier lilies are starting to bloom. The yellow flowers of glacier lilies blossoms and it was a nice spectacle to remember. I would like to have an encounter with grizzly because they are an awesome animal.
