The wild flower season is moving right along out here ten miles NW of the Badlands. The sand lilies are just finishing up, and the western wall flower, milk vetch and larkspur are in full swing. Just beginning, or in bud are the daisies, groundsel, bitter root and death camas. All around Central Oregon the bitterbrush is in full bloom and soo fragrant. It is a great time of year, the high desert at it’s finest.
Through the next month to month and a half is a really great time to visit the Badlands east of Bend, go Highway 20 to milepost 16 for the trailhead, the desert widl flowers are in their finest show.
