Mt. Rainier and Mount Baker National Park have many trails that lead to premier alpine habitat with unique wildflower gardens and wildlife. Destinations are quite dependent upon snow level. We’ll give more details in July and at the 4th Class.
We will be walking around Bagley Lake at a slow pace to identify the wide variety available. What is blooming will be dependent on timing of snow melt and sun. More details to come later
We will be meeting at 9am at the Heather Meadows Visitor Center. For those staying for the naturalist weekend at Mount Baker, we will meet at the lodge and walk up together. There are bathrooms and parking at the visitor centers
