The wildflowers are in peak bloom in the eastern Columbia River Gorge. I went hiking with friends on Thursday in the Memaloose Hills. This is on the Oregon side of the river, on the other side of the Cascade Mountains. The dry side!
It was a gloriously beautiful day.
So many flowers! See Mount Hood just peeking out under the clouds on the right?
It’s good to have friends who like to hike with you.
I’m not sure what this is, but I love the seed pods.
This is a reminder to me, to think about hiking in April for wildflowers. Sometimes May is just too late. What’s blooming near you?
