Jennie Wike reports that many varieties are in bloom at this location. The meadows near the trailhead are pink with sea blush. The buckbrush shrubs and manzanita were in full bloom. Tolmie`s cats ears lilies, Henderson`s shooting stars, blue-eyed Mary, western buttercup, prairie star, forktooth ookow, Oregon bleeding hearts, red bells, wild celery, Menzie`s larkspur, and fiddleneck were also blooming along the trail to the top. At the top, the vernal pools are almost gone, leaving a wake of wildflowers. Woolly meadowfoam, goldfields, rusty popcorn, bicolored lupine, desert parsley, ookow, and fiddlenecks were blooming at the top. Lupine and goldfields are peak, while the meadowfoam is near peak.
