Trip Report

There are two excellent reasons to hike the Bugaboo Ridge to Bachelor Mountain hike; stellar mountain views and splendid spring wildflowers. On the day that we hiked, persistent grey skies prevented us from seeing the the anticipated views of the Cascade Range, but the wildflowers did not disappoint. The many varieties of flowers, both those our Obsidian experts could identify and those that left us baffled, were out in force, making conditions superb for a memorable spring wildflower hike.
