Methow Wildlife Area - Bowen Mountain — Saturday, Apr. 16, 2022

North Cascades > Methow/Sawtooth
Bowen Seen From the East

Sagebrush Steppe around the Methow is coming to life. Depending on aspect and elevation there can be many flowers blooming or they may be just around the corner.

Bowen is in a state wildlife area. There are a few trails that have shared usage. Watch for bikes. With cooler than normal temperatures the flowers aren’t all out yet. The usual early suspects, Spring Beauty, Yellow Bell, Ball Waterleaf, Nine Leaf Desert Parsley made for a nice show. 

Hiker crowds were light, parking is easy, no restrooms…
