Gary,

While the Front Range (the mountains nearest Denver,
including the eastern half of Rocky Mountain National
Park) and eastern plains is still in a drought, it looks
MUCH better in central Colorado, where it is very
green, and many nice wildflowers showing.

Even the Front Range is getting relief: in the last few
days we have gotten quite a bit of rain.  Most Colorado
cities report about 50 to 75% of normal rainfall
for the year (low values in the front range and east;
better numbers west).  If the rain keeps up, we could
get close to normal in a while.

I've heard reports from Crested Butte (very green, lots of
wildflowers), but that was not from a photographer.
The Crested Butte web sites say many flowers still as
buds, so early.  But they are getting rain, so it looks good.

I haven't heard about the San Juans.

Shrine Pass is quite nice (was there on July 4), and I'll go back
as there are many photo possibilities.

I would skip the Front Range if you want wildflowers.

The monsoon has started, so do your hikes early and plan to
be out by early afternoon.
