Saddle Mountain: Flowers, etc.

smm03

Gentle Reader(s), I recently semi-promised you more photos of Saddle Mountain, but of flowers and other small stuff this time around. I semi-promise lots of stuff, and a number of those semi-promises are still in the, uh, pending category, but this time you're in luck.

I didn't do my usual search of the library's Oregonian database for the previous post. As you might expect, the O does a story about the place every few years, letting people know it's a good day hike reasonably close to town. For example, here are the 1993 and 1998 versions of the story. The place doesn't really change much, so either story still makes a good introduction to the place.

Anyway, here's more of those photos I mentioned:

Awesome. It was a bit drier when we went. We were told there are lots of rare flowers up there. Not a lot of "grassland" in this part of the state. It's all covered with trees.
