Spring is a relative thing. In the mountains it generally runs a little later due to the elevation and in years of great snow and late snow melt, it comes even later. We arrived in Olympic in early August to find it in very spring-like with regard to trail conditions and more pleasantly wildflowers. Thistle, Mountain Bluebells, and Alvalanch Lillies are some of the most common. We often walked literally through corridors of them, a sea of color surrounding us.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
