Tiffany Mountains,
Synopsis
Even in mid-summer, the wildflowers were still bloom at the Tiffany Mountains. We camped near the Tiffany Springs campground - on a dead end road. The insects were pretty bad during our stay, but it wasn't too unbearable. One morning I woke up to the sounds of a couple of deer crashing off into the brush - apparently our tent was not a usually sight in their routine morning walk.
We hiked down the road to the Tiffany Mountain trailhead and out to Tiffany Lake. It was a pleasant and pretty moderate hike. There were places along the trail that were "buggy," especially near the lake. We hike though Honeymoon Pass, through a fresh burn, and looped behind Freezeout Ridge. Then we hiked down the mountain back to the road. It was quite a long and exhausting loop, but we were rewarded by the abundance of bird and wildlife and breath taking views.
