Gateway, CO, was my destination on Saturday, September 3rd, 2011. My Labor Day weekend street bike ride took me west from Ridgway, along the San Miguel Canyon, up to Norwood, to Naturita, and thence to Gateway. A rest stop in the canyon, nearly to Norwood Hill, revealed many wildflowers—amazing, really, considering it’s September, but not amazing considering the amount of rain we’ve had this summer. Enjoy the flowers!

I'm pretty sure this is a form of Goldenrod, though which variety I can't tell from the flower book.
