In the sentences provided, the independent clause is in bold in the following:
**We walked home after enjoying our milkshakes.**
**The tulips bloom each spring.**
**We hiked up the steep, rocky cliffs.**
**It was a cold, blustery night.**
However, the only sentence that clearly exists as an independent clause without a dependent clause is:
**The tulips bloom each spring.**
