Beaverhead National Forest: Awesome Wildflower Display

If you ever had a hankering for wildflowers trust me this is THE year to get you a fix. Everywhere we go it seems the wildflowers just can't get any better and then...well just get out there and see for yourself...

Elk thistle...bears and elk eat it early on while still growing...not your everyday wildflower still one of our favorites especially at this early stage. Look for it along mountain cricks, the fringes of wet meadows and in high country parks.
Mariposa lily...Seems to grow most profusely beside our favorite trout cricks, how sweet is that, eh?
...ditto bee balm and about a zillion others... No wonder we cater to casting flies best in mountain rills...
