I decided to head up the Beeline Highway to check out the wildflowers on the hike up to Mount Ord, and I was not disappointed.

There was a good show of flowers on FR 27, particularly on the first mile past Jaws. There were lots of flowers, and a good variety of flowers also.

There was some nice lupine on FR 626, but that is about all there is on FR 626 right now.
