Wildflowers of Grizzly Peak

I will heartily declare Grizzly Peak as my favorite Oregon hike.  While the above is an entirely true statement, I should also add that I have not done much hiking in Oregon!  So for the time being, Grizzly Peak wins out.

Rick and I did the same hike last year at this time.  I wanted to go again at the exact same time because the wildflowers are incredible!  Last year, the meadows up high on the mountain were covered in lupine, but this year other wildflowers delighted us.

Below you will find photos from yesterday’s hike.  I am still high from the experience!

Clear views!

SKY and CLOUDS
We are here in Ashland for theater, drama…however, the best drama is present in SKY and CLOUDS.

  1. Love that hike. Hikers get views all around. Birds sing. Bees buzz. Cameras click. Flowers emanate scents. And runners clomp meditatively by, usually with a dog on a leash also getting a joyful workout.
