The hills are alive . . . with critters! Just a few miles up the La Plata Canyon Rd we found the sought out wild flowers as well as marmots, chipmunks and more. The early morning proved the best time for these ventures and we plan to return when we have more time to stay and enjoy the flowers, mountains and the adorable creatures that live there. sf

I have never seen a marmot. Is it like a groundhog?
It's a big, furry rodent; Wikipedia says it's a variety of ground squirrel. They start at about 7500-8000 feet elevation; I always think about warm, furry slippers when I see them!
