Hike 6/20 Mount Zion Wild Rhodies
Rhody blossoms started early, and lasted the whole way up
There was hardly anywhere on the trail where you couldn't see some pink
Most of the trail was forested, but there were occasional glimpses throuugh the trees
Spotted coralroot
A short detour led to a vista of Mount Townsend area
The summit of Mt. Zion has limited views, and the low clouds obscured views to the east
Rhododendron macrophyllum, Washington's state flower
A clearing just south of the summit gave us wide open views
We could see Mt. Townsend, Gray Wolf Ridge, the Needles, and more
Spotted Saxifrage on a rocky outcrop
Take a short stroll through the rhodies
Columbine
Someone spotted a white blossom too
Candy stick
