One last little hike among the Lassics, going up Red Lassic, then stopping by some of the unique flora and fauna of the area. New blog post: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/red-lassic.html

I struggled along what was once a good road to a removed fire lookout. This was the Mount Lassic Lookout, but it was actually on the side of Goat Hill with a view of Mount Lassic. Blog post here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/mount-lassic-lookout-and-goat-hill.html

Yes, I am about a month late in advertising this one...

One road open, one not, but getting to these seasonal ponds was a mix of #hike and thrash with a surprising number of violets found along the way.

A hike in search of #wildflowers, so I may have gone a little overboard showing them. However, I was looking for one specific flower and none of them are it! The search comes with a nice peak.

Just a short hike to get to the highest point of the Lassics, an area of great botanical interest and more: new post at https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/black-lassic.html

This loop may include Jeep trails, but it can only be completed on foot. I explored some ridges and met Mad River Rock. New blog post: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/mad-river-rock-and-devils-backbone.html

A little loop of trail featuring many lake views and plenty of benches to stop and take it in. New blog post: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/fir-cove-nature-trail.html

I had a shorter hike along a little stream with flowers and butterflies and the trickle of water and stabby grass seeds invading my shoes. Less said about that last, the better.

I stopped by the extreme northwest corner of Yolla Bolly, a #Wilderness I've never visited before, and hiked the trails there in a loop visiting their namesakes. Fire almost 3 years before has changed the area, but there are still flowers and butterflies and springs and rolling hills.

A bunch of #butterflies found in a spot of great variety of #wildflowers on a recent #hike. They probably won't make it into the post advert, so here they are on their own while I work on my post.
