Boysen Reservoir, part 1

Crossing over to the west side of Boysen Dam is the view below. We decided to park the car and hike up the road to see if we could find a way to the summit.

From the road above we enjoyed this view below.

This is the road across the dam.

These are some of the flowers we saw along the way during our hike.
