Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

A trace of mud but that may be more due to the humidity than rain! At about 3 miles, some bear grass is blooming. It, the bear grass, and other blooms added a wonderful perfume to the basin. Instead of bearing left to the view of the Snoqualmie Valley, stay straight and there is bear grass, lupine, flox, paint brush and others. Really fine. Chilly at the bench. Did not feel like July is tomorrow. And sneaking in a few other trail comments for those who need to know: Just some small patches of snow on the slopes of Mt Dana off Tioga Pass, some patches between Tenaya Lake and Clouds Rest but not from there to Half Dome and down to the Valley. Keep on hiking
