Beargrass (Closeup)
Beargrass
Beargrass is found growing at 4,000 feet and above (a good marker for elevation.) It has a heavenly aroma and the elk love to eat the flowers. The grassy part below grows in huge, shiny, dark green clumps, which is very slippery. Open mountainsides are covered with it in late June/July.

Toni, Thanks for the education here. We saw these last year on a trip up to Lunch Peak and called them qtip flowers because in our unknowingness that was what they looked like. I have put up a lot of photos in the last two days on my site also- come and visit.
