Spray Park — Saturday, Jul. 22, 2023

Agree with AlpsDayTripper that this is a below-average wildflower year (except for beargrass in the lower part of the Park), but nevertheless beautiful. I suppose it's possible that lupine and magenta paintbrush are just not yet in full bloom. Spray Park itself was almost completely snow-free and shockingly green. We had a total of five steps in snow. Twentysomething daughter didn't even get her trailrunners wet. Maybe my memory is failing, but Mowich Lake also seemed quite warm. Mowich Lake Road is in the best condition in recent memory (if you don't mind the dust).
