Table Rock Wilderness

This week afforded me the opportunity to take some kids into the Table Rock Wilderness. We had been working on a SOLV site all week removing Himalayan Blackberry and English Ivy and were in need of a break. We typically schedule educational days into our work schedule and this was a perfect time to head into the Table Rock Wilderness. We had a great hike and the flowers were amazing. I managed to grab a few shots during the trip of some of the flowers we encountered. Enjoy.
