We found these in abundance both on the tundra above Robson Glacier and along the Hargreaves Lake trail. This photo was taken along the Hargreaves Lake trail. They bloom almost as soon as the snow is melted and we often found them blooming near unmelted snow.

Photographed at Christianson's Nursery in the Skagit Valley while there to see the daffodils in bloom.

The western Pasque Flower is one of our beautiful mountain wildflowers. It has beautiful off-white blooms stained with blue on the outside.
