Brokeoff Mountain Pride 🎕 Lassen Volcanic National Park Wildflowers

You don't need me to tell you how amazing nature is, but today's post is just a little reminder. 😉

We found these pretty wildflowers growing out of a rock on the trail up Brokeoff Mountain in late-August...

It's called Mountain Pride, and apparently it was John Muir's favorite flower.

If the fact that such a beautiful flower can thrive in such harsh conditions isn't a metaphor for life, then I don't know what is!

Where's the craziest place you've ever seen a flower grow?

We found them in Mid-April last year and I can't wait to go back this year and see if I can spot them again!
