Almost as if a careful gardener planted them, batches of arnicas line the Tepee Creek Trail near Lynx Pass in southeastern Routt County. The yellow flower is abundant on the trail, which takes hikers and bikers four miles into the wilderness over rolling hills to the confluence of the babbling Tepee and the slightly larger Rock Creek.

Still, plenty of wide meadows split the hike up, offering picture-perfect places to camp.
