Ingalls Creek — Friday, Jun. 15, 2001

Central Cascades > Blewett Pass

I hiked up about a mile beyond the Falls Creek trail crossing - worth the extra distance to see more views of the Stuart range - including a pretty waterfall to the north. I just have a few things to add to the excellent trail report of robert michelson (Jun 02,2001). In addition to all the flowers he described, I saw queen's cup and larkspur. The lupine were just about done - but there were still many other flowers yet to bloom. I also did see a rattlesnake sunning itself on the trail. It scooted off to the side and let me pass. I caught a glimpse of a western tanager about half way up the trail. All in all, an excellent place to visit.
