Join other wildflower lovers at the 2010 Crested Butte Wildflower Festival, July 12–18. Activities include:

• Photography classes. Learn tips from pros about how to capture a great nature image, whether it’s a closeup shot or a breathtaking panorama.

• Yoga classes. Roll out your mat in an alpine meadow and meditate on the view as you stretch your body and mind.

• Guided hikes. Get to know wildflowers like an expert by viewing blooms at different elevations, such as the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, 10,000 feet above sea level. Hikes range from easy to technical.

• Backcountry adventures. Choose daylong guided trips on foot, by mountain bike, or in a 4×4 vehicle. Witness remote waterfalls, lakes, and wildflowers.

• Garden tours. Learn to include natives in your landscaping by touring local gardens.
