CommentsLOTS of Scouler's Corydalis (Corydalis scouleri) between the parking area and the old dam. Also blooming are: salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Western trillium (Trillium ovatum) and Giant White Wakerobin (Trillium albidum) though both slightly past their peak, shining Oregon-grape (Mahonia aquifolium), Oregon fawn lilies (Erythronium oregonum), Pacific bleeding hearts (Dicentra formosa), Hooker's fairy bells (Prosartes hookeri), Wood Violets (Viola glabella), Sweet Colt's Foot (Petasites frigidus), Slender Toothwort (Cardamine pulcherrima var. tenella), Candy Flower (Montia sibirica), Indian Plum (Oemleria cerasiformis), Western Saxifrage (Saxifraga occidentalis), Western Meadowrue (Thalictrum occidentale), and False Solomon's Seal (Similacina racemosa). One isolated patch of Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) in bloom on the hillside just before the wooden steps.

Columbia Kittentails (Synthyris missurica ssp. stellata) are covering the boulders next to the footbridge just downstream from the waterfall. Red-flowered Currant (Ribes sanguineum) is blooming on the rocky hillside downstream from the waterfall.

Lots of non-native Red Dead-nettle* (Lamium purpureum) adjacent to the parking area.
