Instagrammers and nature lovers, get ready for an incredible wildflower bloom in Mount Rainier National Park this summer. The national park in Washington is already beginning to show signs of the beautiful flowers.
Mount Rainer’s renowned wildflowers bloom for a limited amount of time every year, and that time is coming up. You can even see which exact flowers are blooming with this up-to-date flower tracker.
Avalanche lilies, paintbrush, asters, daisies, cinquefoil, fireweed, purple shooting stars and so many others, blanket the mountain in every colour of the rainbow. This is a vivid burst of nature.
Missed California’s superbloom? You’re in luck – the massive wildflower bloom is on its way to Washington…
We can’t get over how incredible this dazzling display of wildflowers is. It doesn’t even look real.Â
The park’s wildflower bloom will kick off in July and peak in August
The “peak” bloom for wildflowers is heavily dependent on weather and precipitation patterns, so accurate predictions are difficult. But – and here’s the good ‘but’ – the bloom is already beginning.
So if you want to see the blooms, you might wanna start planning your trip now.
