Spring is here, in our calendars, hearts, and gear closets. Even with this year’s massive snowpack in the mountains, there’s some great lower-elevation trips and hikes soon to be carpeted with wildflowers!

Larch March to Tiffany Mountain
A larch hike…on a gorgeous WEEKEND day in October…WITHOUT crowds? They do exist!
Skyline Trail Loop at Mt. Rainier National Park
The wildflowers were calling, and I had to go! For a few weeks a year, Paradise at MRNP lives up to its name by becoming awashed with purple, yellow, red, and blue.
Chelan Butte
This Mother’s Day weekend, I again spent it with Mother Nature and Mama Boots. However, this time we were joined by my Aunt for a flower-filled hike in Chelan!
Dog Mountain
Timing is everything. While this gem along the Columbia River Gorge offers stunning views in any season, for a few weeks in spring these views are gilded with millions of wildflowers in bloom. I timed it perfectly!
