Showy Phlox & Cowiche Mtn Trail
I took a hike up Cowiche Mtn on the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy's Snow Mtn Ranch property on this sunny, warm day. About half way up the flowers were putting on a pretty good show (at least for this spring!): bitterroot was begining to show (there will be lots more with this warm weather) along with lupine, larkspur, thyme-leaf buckwheat, desert parsley, & some balsamroot. But the biggest show on this day was (wouldn't you know it) showy phlox. The views were also very nice: the shrub-steppe still green in the forground with Mt Rainier peeking over Bethel Ridge & Mt Adams looming to the southwest. And so far, now ticks found.
