Comments	Lots of Scouler's Corydalis (Corydalis scouleri) starting to bloom between the parking area and the old dam. Also blooming are: salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Western trillium (Trillium ovatum) (past peak), shining Oregon-grape (Mahonia aquifolium), Wood Violets (Viola glabella), Sweet Colt's Foot (Petasites frigidus), Slender Toothwort (Cardamine pulcherrima var. tenella), Candy Flower (Montia sibirica), Western Saxifrage (Saxifraga occidentalis), and Western Meadowrue (Thalictrum occidentale). One isolated patch of Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) past peak on the hillside just before the wooden steps. Plenty of Columbia Kittentails (Synthyris missurica ssp. stellata) are covering the boulders next to the footbridge just downstream from the waterfall. Very nice patch of Glacier Lilies (Erythronium grandiflorum) blooming on one of the boulders a bit downstream from the footbridge. Red-flowered Currant (Ribes sanguineum) blooming on the rocky hillside adjacent to the trail downstream from the waterfall.
