Montana Wildflowers Part 1

🌼 Rocky Mountain Clematis - Also called a Columbia Virgin's Bower, these viney plants grow in the shade on the ground and up trees and shrubs. The purple color when the sun shines through the petals is gorgeous. It is a native plant in western Montana.

🌼 Prairie Shooting Star - Native to the entire state, this one can grow just about anywhere. The Montana Field Guide states it grows from "grasslands to wet meadows; valleys to alpine."

🌼 Showy Jacob's Ladder - This flower grows in the western half of Montana. It is part of the phlox family and tends to prefer stony soil.

🌼 Glacier Lily - Also called a Yellow Avalanche Lily, this bloom prefers subalpine meadows, slopes, and clearings. Apparently, the bulbs are eaten by grizzly bears! Who knew. They grow in the western third of Montana.

🌼 Arrowleaf Balsamroot - Also called the Oregon Sunflower, this plant is fully edible (if you're brave enough to try). It has a bitter, pine-like taste. It was historically important as food and medicine for Native American tribes. It is native to most of Montana, except the northeastern tip.

🌼 Heartleaf Arnica - Part of the sunflower family, this plant is relatively wildfire resistant, and an individual plant can live up to 12 years. It is one of the most widespread arnicas in North America and has the same native range as the Arrowleaf Balsamroot.

🌼 Western Trillium - Also called Pacific Trillium, this perennial spreads via underground rhizomes, which explains why you might find many all together in one place. The flower blooms white and becomes more pink as it matures. It is native to the western quarter of Montana.

🌼 Calypso Orchid - This flower has a few other wonderful names: fairy slipper or Venus's slipper. It is found in undisturbed northern, montane forests. Each bulb lives no more than 5 years. In rare cases, they can bloom white instead of purple pink. It is native to the western half of Montana.

🌼 Blue Lupine - Another one with some cool, alternate names: Sundial Lupine, Indian Beet, or Old Maid's Bonnets. Most bloom blue or blueish purple, but they can be white or pink. It is a native plant statewide.

A Saturday well spent. Today, we checked out Bear Creek, and it definitely didn't disappoint. There were about 10 cars at the trailhead, so busy but not too bad.

Bear Creek Trail is part of the Bitterroot National Forest. The trail is mostly shaded and runs along the Creek the entire way. It's about 3 miles out and back to the falls. There is a trail beyond the falls, but it's more overgrown. It connects to a larger network of trails in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.

This time of year is just perfect for hiking in the Bitterroot ❤️ The wildflowers are incredible, the water levels in the creeks are high, and everything is greening up.

I'll see you out there 🌲🥾

We'll see if I feel the same way when we get to Fall, but Spring seems pretty unbeatable right now. The Montana wildflowers are 🔥

Congrats, you made it to the weekend 👏 Let go of that work-week stress and kickstart your Saturday with a boost of serotonin.

Did you know that getting more sunlight, exercising, and minimizing stress naturally boosts your serotonin? Serotonin helps regulate your mood, sleep, and digestion.

What are you waiting for? Get outside. I'll see you out there. 🥾☀️

Counting down the days until Skalkaho Pass opens! Nothing beats the magical feeling turning this corner.

This time of year is special with all the trees greening up, wildflowers starting to open, and the birds returning for nesting. Still blows my mind that great blue herons nest in trees.

Happy #Bluesday

Montana on a random Thursday. This was the second time I've done this hike, and I somehow missed this epic waterfall above the trail the first time 😅
