Wildflowers in early August
View looking at adjacent mountain range next to Engineer Mountain
After leaving the forest you enter a meadow and depending on the time of year you may see a field of Paintbrush with Engineer dominating the view above.
High Country wildflowers are amazing
Nothing short of spectacular!
This is the type of scrambling you'll be doing on the way up and more importantly on the way down. The flat spot with a few folks hanging out is the Eagle's Nest, a great spot for those who want a break or a turnaround point before the scrambling.
