If you're curious about the wildflower bloom at Mount Rainier, I did some research and posted my findings on my blog:

Thanks Greg. I was about to head up this week to take a look around, I still may go to the Sunrise side and take a peak. If anyone in the Seattle area is interested in going in the next couple days, let me know.

I was up as Sunrise yesterday. Flowers are blooming in some areas, tipsoo had snow everywhere but the lake was mostly free of snow and ice.

Great info Greg, thanks for the summary (and the blog). I hope it happens this year!

I shot this at sunrise on 8/9 at Upper Tipsoo Lake. Still plenty of snow. The meadows were still covered!
