Observation date: July 31, 2024
Submitted by: Cascade Colors
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Saw a few of these; very beautiful and my first time seeing the species. Please note in previous years I've gone to this location and submissions were rejected due to incorrect county....all I can do is select on the map roughly where I am (and per the map, my location is accurate); it's on the Milner pass trail coming up from the W side of of RMNP (trailhead begins at Milner Pass trailhead / Poudre Lake right on Hwy 34), before reaching the Alpine Visitor's Center at the very top. At this location it very well may be the west side of the divide.

Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...interesting that this Alpine has such a limited range in the southern Rocky Mountains. Mike
