The blue camas bloom at Packer Meadows near Lolo Pass is at its peak, according to the visitor center’s Facebook page, so see it while you can!
A reminder, though: Roads in the area of the visitor center along U.S. Highway 12 at the Montana-Idaho border to the meadows will be closed Saturday morning, however, to provide for the safety of runners in the Mountain to Meadow Half Marathon and 5K Fun Run. More details are in this earlier post. If you’re in the race, I might see you there!
Here are a few other Missoula area wildflower sighting for you weekend outings:
