Central Washington > Yakima

Although the road to the TH is drivable by any vehicle other than one with very low clearance, it is rocky and VERY "slow going"--one could almost walk it faster than driving it! :)! The flowers are just starting and very sparse! It looks like it will be at least 2 maybe 3 weeks before the flower show nears peak. Lupine, yellow desert parsley, bearded owl-clover, Big-head clover, Hooker's Balsamroot, a few sagebrush violets, and fiddleneck were blooming. Most of the many thyme-leaved buckwheat we saw had no color showing.
