Native Plants Field Trip: Lake Ann

The Lake Ann trail has open woods, wet meadows, and rock slopes for botanizing, and a spectacular close-up view of Mt. Shuksan. Among the many botanical delights of this trail is copperbush, Elliottia pyroliflora. The trail drops 800’, then climbs 900’ before reaching Lake Ann in 4.1 miles—of course there is a drop followed by a climb on the way back. Bring lots of water and expect a workout. Limit 12 in Mt. Baker Wilderness. Meet to carpool at the southeast corner of Sunset Square Safeway parking lot for a 7:30 AM departure.
