Wildflower season is coming early this year to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington and we’re hoping that the crowds will be a bit more manageable than the wildflower bloom mayhem that hit California earlier this year.
Usually wildflowers bloom from mid-July through August in the park, but this year they have already started blossoming all across the park. Glacier lily, avalanche lily, Sitka mountain ash, rosy spirea, Jeffrey’s shooting star, phlox, lupine, Sitka valerian, and western pasqueflowers can be seen along many of the park’s hiking trails.
