Chasing the Blooms Hike

When:  7 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 30.

Description:

This is the seventh in a series of wildflower hikes in our new Chasing the Blooms Challenge. The focus is to identify as many wildflower species as possible. This is a long hike of 8.7 miles and ~1066 feet of elevation gain that wanders through many different eco-zones with unique flora and sweeping mountain views. Peak wildflower bloom is typically from early June through the end of July. Potential species are listed on iNaturalist. No toilets. Ticks are a problem off-trail.

Gear:

Light hiking shoes, sunscreen, hats, insect repellent, a picnic lunch and $5 for the driver. We will have a picnic lunch at the top where a lookout once stood.
