Eight Minutes After The ZMM Narrator’s Twin Walls of Snow,
….An Unexpected Discovery: Little Purple Flowers Highlight the Rocks and Last Summer’s Grass. Of Course, There Are NO Trees!

….[ “There’s not a tree anywhere, only grass everywhere filled with little pink and blue and white dots of intense color.“]

Climbing Down Steep Slope On Hogback Formation, Beartooth Highway, WY. The Narrator's descriptions of all the beautiful flowers in the "High Country" had alerted me to be looking for flowers all along the highways of my ZMM Route Research.
….After The Rock Creek Vista Point, I especially was looking for flowers near locations that would best fit the ZMM Narrator’s passage above. This looking was at my Way Point 136, but none were seen in that area.
….In retrospect, I imagine that there could have been warm sunny slopes for flowers all around WayPt = 136. But I just did not know where to look for them, or more likely, the flowers were there, I just did not see them!..
….By pure chance, at Way Point 145 /\ Above /\ Photo, I had decided to climb down the steep slope to photograph a marmot killed along the highway. This was steep down to the next tier, and by a switchback. To do this I climbed straight down a steep Northwestern facing slope. And, here by pure chance, I discovered some very nice wild flowers! The Previous Photo 106-0630 shows a view of the slope I climbed down.
