Coordinator notes: Any other pictures from up there you might have taken? This one is of the most common Arctic Small Fritillary. The area is the locality for the Uncompahgre Fritillary but you have to hike way up the trail and find some flat wet areas full of Snow Willow - very scrubby willow-leaf plants growing in mats. This year being a even year it might have been found in numbers. Mike
