Cotter Trail Hike

After the area tour, Heather and Jeff and Charlcie and I hiked the Cotter trail and enjoyed the fantastic March weather and the early-blooming wildflowers. I had failed to take the camera along, so Charlcie and I went back the next day to take pictures. Although it was a little too overcast to get good light and the full bloom of some of the flowers, we were still able to get some decent pictures along this neat trail.
