Hiking Upper Lena Lake part 5. The trail climbs 4000 ft (1220m) into the Olympic Mountains. In the subalpine meadows all that's really blooming anymore is fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium) and cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum). But if you look close, there's always a few interesting little plants: the white leafed one is (I think) wooly sunflower (Eriophyllum lanatum) and the red beady one is Sedum divergens or Pacific stonecrop. #hiking #PNW #nativeplants #getoutside
