Wildflowers Have Arrived

As soon as the snow melts, people delight in the discovery of the Douglas’ Grass Widow poking up all over the open, grassy areas and dry, windswept bluffs of the middle and eastern gorge. As soon as a few emerge, the hills will appear to be covered in a blanket of their unmistakable magenta hue. Their welcome burst of color, often as early as February, reminds us that spring is indeed coming.
