6.5 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •

This hike was recently covered in PH.org so I won't go into trail details. We went a bit beyond Grassy Knoll (to Grassy Pass) - the trail follows the ridge up and down, and there are some great wildflower meadows from GK to GP. Flowers are still great, especially higher up. Also saw a lot of recent signs of bear activity - bear poop on the trail, and several destroyed ant mounds (bears like ant larvae).

Do you know what the depressed flower is? I saw those up at St. Helens today too.

One in the second picture? It's Tiger Lily (Lilium columbianum).
