Hike of the week

Whiskey Dick Wildlife Area

Desert wildflower explosion -- guaranteed! Dozens of different types and colors of flowers grow here, all against a backdrop of silvery-green sagebrush. The higher you go on this road-to-trail, the more flowers you'll see - plus Puget Sound Energy's windmills and views of the sparkling Columbia River.

• Lake Serene, Stevens Pass. "The infamous "Lunch Rock" is also under snow so we found an alternate dry spot to have ours." philo, 5.12.2012
• Driveway Butte, North Cascades. “The first couple miles gain 2,000 feet, but the wildflowers and pines were a great distraction. Great views from the summit!”  BellinghamBen, 05.13.2012
