Wildflower Hunting on Mt. Hebo

 Time for a hike on Mt. Hebo near the Oregon Coast.  It's an old Native American trail and also one used by the pioneers.  Rediscovered by the forest service in 1975 and an official trail in 1984. 

My goal is to look for a specific wildflower, the Coast Range Fawn Lily, that grows on the Northern Oregon Coast and is abundant at Mt. Hebo. Hope to see it. 

Nope, not it.  It's Indian Paintbrush instead. 
Perhaps an avalanche lily?  Maybe the Pacific Trillium?
A happy dog.
Columbine.
I think this might be it. My Inaturalist app says it Davidson's Penstemon, not the Coast Range Fawn Lily.
Here's a better view of the flowers.
Mt Hebo used to have an Air Force Radar station up here during WW2 but they have taken down any evidence of that many years ago.

Finally, a hike and a post!!!!!

 Hiya World.

Little Fox here. My buddy Sequoia and I decided to take a little hike today. 

Our location today is Eagle Creek.  Home to a large fire in 2017 and last year they reopened some of the trails. 
The bridge is in good shape.  Lower Punchbowl Falls was my destination but I want to go further. 
The Eagle Creek Canyon is so pleasant. 
A few wildflowers are out, is this columbine?
