Location: End of Snoqualmie Tunnel, 2500 ft, 10T0617325/5250299
Temperature and Weather:
About 70 degrees, mostly clear and sunny
Habitat:
Near Portal creek waterfall. Lots of alders on creek sides. Cedar trees and douglas firs mostly, also a few large deciduous shrubs. Dandelions blooming all over. Bracken fern on hillsides, devil's club and red-cap berry bushes starting to grow. Also salmon berry bushes in bloom...first of trip. Still a few patches of yellow violets. We are over the summit now, more plant life, leaves on trees are larger - heading into summer or deeper into spring.
