Trout Lily - Featured Flower for March : Trout Lily, genus Erythronium, are some of the very earliest wildflowers to bloom in the Smokies and surrounding areas.  There are a few different species in our areas (Beaked, Yellow, White & Dimpled) but I generally just enjoy watching for them--no matter which species they happen to be.  I hope you'll enjoy these photos which I just picked at random from our collection of nearly 200 trout lily photos!

Diamond Peak - August 2007 : On August 18th 2007 Nancy, Scotty, Eric & I set out to climb Diamond Peak for the first time. Located in the Cascade Mountains Southwest of La Pine on Oregon Highway 97. We met up at the Summit  Campground on Crescent Lake Friday evening. Saturday morning we drove the 6 miles on a primitive forest service road to Summit Lake. 

From here we set out North on the Pacific Crest Trail to the cutoff trail to Marie Lake. From here we hoped we would find a use trail that headed North from the Lake to the Mountain. We found no trail and so with the help of Eric & his GPS we made our own way through the trees to the Southeast foot of the mountain and then began climbing up to the False Summit and onto the Summit. Once on top we did find a descending use trail  back to the Pacific Crest Trail. In all we hiked just over 16 miles. about 9.5 to the Summit then just under 7 back to the trail head.
