Limber Pine Trail

We went for a little hike on the Limber Pine Trail. It is an easy, but pretty hike.
We learned that cool curves in trees like this are caused when the tree is young and snow breaks the main part of a tree a branch will take over the growth. Here is the tree that the trail is named after. Birds stash the seed of the trees away to eat later, but when several trees sprout from a forgotten stash it creates a tree made up of multiple trees.
You can see beautiful Bear Lake at one point in the hike. We stopped her to eat lunch.
We also drove around Tony's Grove a bit. The verities of wild flowers were breath taking.
