Leslie Gulch

Rockville School, on the way to Leslie Gulch.

Leslie Gulch has many amazing, stark rock formations made of tuff or consolidated volcanic ash.
The gulch is named after a local rancher, Hiram Leslie, who was struck by lightning here in 1882.

Indian Paintbrush

Juniper tree appears to be growing right out of the rocks!

Beardtongue 

White Lupine; some of this wild lupine would have a hint of lavender.




Can you see the heart made by two hands?


Chukar, we saw lots of chukars while in Leslie Gulch.
