it’s wildflower season in Washington State! 🌼 but these balsamroot blooms won’t last much longer. I suggest getting up into the mountains this week if you want to see them ⚠️ if you visit, please STAY ON THE TRAIL and don’t pick the wildflowers. I saw so many people trampling & sitting on the flowers, and I think it’s because they don’t understand that it takes these plants years to grow & mature. We need to protect them if we want to enjoy their beautiful blooms every year. I was able to catch all these videos plus a bunch of beautiful photos without going off trail once. Also, there are tons of rattlesnakes living in the meadows so I don’t recommend going off trail for that reason alone 👀🐍 #washingtonstate #washingtonhikes #wildflowerhike | wildflower hike in washington | washington wildflowers | spring hiking in washington state
