Oregon Wildflower Hikes

📷 :Rowena Crest

Hiking in spring and early summer is a treasure hunt of color as wildflowers bloom in the meadows and mountains of Oregon, typically at their peak in May and early June. Look for blossoms on these trails and others around the state. While these flowers may be tempting for a spring bouquet, keep in mind that they are for your viewing enjoyment only — it is illegal to pick wildflowers growing on public land in Oregon.
