Ascent Trip ReportThis was as much a wildflower hike as a peak climb led as a Sierra Club hike by Richard White with 11 participants. I was able to identify lots of Siberian Miners Lettuce, Thimble Berry, Indian Paintbrush, Lupen, and Buckwheat. Others on the trip identified many more but my memory left them behind.
Visible major peaks include Diamond, Sisters, Washington, Jefferson, 3-fingered Jack, Hood, and Adams
From Corvallis, we left at 8 am and returned at 5 pm. Lots of folks on the trail and on top, mainly coming from the upper parking area. |
