Photo Ops:
The Copper Lakes trail to Judd Falls is a very plesant hike up through meadows that are often filled with wildflowers.
Just past the campground, the road to the right leads to Rustler Gulch, a higher basin that is quite good for wildflowers.
Near the top of the pass the road to the left leads to Paradise Basin where there are often fields of flowers.
