As more trails become free of snow, it’s possible to start exploring more of Mount Rainier’s subalpine areas! There are still patches of snow, but meadow wildflowers are beginning to bloom. These marsh marigolds (Caltha leptosepala) were found around upper Crystal Lake, along the Crystal Lakes Trail in the northeast corner of the park. Where are you starting to find wildflowers?
Remember, please stay on trail or on snow instead of skirting around snow patches! It may look like muddy ground, but many meadow plants are starting to emerge and stepping of trail tramples the wildflowers you may be coming to see. There are plenty of great photo options from the trail.
For updates on what’s blooming where visit https://go.nps.gov/RainierWildflower

19/03/2024-Radipole Lake and Portland
Photos taken in this set are of; views at both on a blustery day, beautiful Purple Sandpipers at Portland it was a pleasure to see this stunning group of birds my first of the year a precious species, Great Black-backed Gull at Portland, bluebells at Radipole perhaps my first of the year and perhaps the earliest I've ever seen this iconic flower in a year, Alexanders and Mute Swan at Radipole, the gorgeous and rustic sight of the Little Owl in the quarry at Portland my first of the year and what an honour to see one here again I love watching this bird, some of my first scurvygrass of the year one of the few flowers braving the headland at Portland Bill and my first cow parsley of the year at Radipole.
I also enjoyed seeing my first Sand Martins - bat like birds flitting through the air it's such a key moment of spring when the hirundines return - and possibly cukooflower of the year at Radipole and my first Razorbills, Shag and Gannet of the year and my first ever yellow field cap mushrooms at Portland as my bird year list soared to 149 the second highest one of my year lists has been at on this date in a year behind last year. Reed Bunting, Mediterranean Gull and Marsh Harrier at Radipole, Rock Pipit and Oystercatcher at Portland and Skylark seen from the car travelling between the two and primroses, bee and turkey tail fungi at Radipole were other highlights on an unforgettable day to bring to end my patch of leave around the weekend. A brilliant and packed few wild days.
