Wildflowers are abundant in the Sierra Nevada’s and can be seen anywhere from late May through August. This all depends on elevation, precipitation and how harsh or mild the winter was. The sunny meadows and slopes are where you will find the greatest selection and color. Red’s Meadow is known for its flowers. Tall stalks of monkshood, fields of lupine, spectacular columbine of various colors, Sierra lily, wild rose, meadow penstemon, swamp onion, prickly poppy, shooting star, paintbrush of fabulous shades of red, orange, and pink and cinquefoil just to name a few.
