Ever plan on seeing the wildflowers at Mount Rainier? Well, now is the time to go. According to the park’s plant ecologist, Lou Whiteaker the flowers are now at their peak. Nisqually Vista has a few wonderful areas, but the Deadhorse Creek trail has the most.
We were up at the park a little over a month ago and everything was still under snow. So, it’s good to see that the flowers finally melted out and they’re blooming. As you can imagine, they have quite a short growing season, so go see them quick.
If you do plan on going up, keep in mind that there is some construction and plan for delays. Earlier in the morning there’s still parking available, but by mid afternoon the lots fill up.
