Glacier NP Wildflower Conditions

We're back from our nine day trip in Glacier NP. Typically, wildflowers peak there in late July/early August. There's more snow on the ground at the higher elevations than I've ever seen in late July. Logan Pass was just getting started on July 30. Lots of glacier lillies but not much of anything else. Some beargrass, a few paintbrush and some others blooming along the Highline Trail between Logan Pass and Granite Park but nothing exceptional.

The best wildflowers were in the Many Glacier area. There were some really nice pockets with lots of lupine near Lake Sherburne but overall, not a banner year. It may just be too early or it may just not be a banner year. Who knows?

Hope this helps!

I plan to be there from 9/8 - 9/11, so no flowers for me. I am just looking forward to seeing your photos from there. :smile:
