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.
What a great hike! Did you have snacks?
