The great plant explore by the Skagit women…

A wonderful group of friends rented the Inn a few weeks ago, focused on getting some hiking under their belt(s) while looking for and identifying trees, shrubs and wildflowers.

And what a time they had! Mary, Elle, Nancy and Lyn (the official naturalist in the group) were out everyday early, searched and were rewarded with wonderful finds…what is it what is it???
