Farley Wildflower Overlook June 26, 2019








As we were trucking along enjoying the scenery on the Highway of Legends in CO, we suddenly came upon an abundant display of Western Blue Flag Irises!  Stunning to say the least.  We were entering the San Isabel National Forest.  We took a left off the hwy heading toward Farley Overlook.  Sooo happy we did that.  What a view!! 

John B. Farley, a WWII veteran an physician from Pueblo, was memorialized with this wildflower overlook due to all he did for the people of SW CO.
