Pleasant weather and company made for a good day hiking up Browder Ridge. Skies were exceptionally clear for good views of the Cascade chain. Beargrass and Coneflower joined a profusion of penstemon, Jacob’s Ladder, and Scarlet Gilia, as well as a few Cascade lilies and a beautiful stand of Pine Drops. Our fivesome included Mary Coleman, Sue and Steve Engler, Dan Moung and leader Mady Kimmich.
