The cliffside trail section is covered with Western Saxifrage (Saxifraga occidentalis), Merten's Saxifrage (Saxifraga mertensiana), Chickweed Monkeyflower (Mimulus alsinoides), Scouler's Valerian (Valeriana scouleri), Cream Stonecrop (Sedum oregonense) (though not yet in bloom) and Few-Flowered Shooting Star (Dodecatheon pulchellum).

Along the spur trail to Lower Punch Bowl Falls there is an enormous amount of Pacific Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa) and Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis). Also in bloom: Dwarf Oregon-Grape (Berberis nervosa), Hooker's Fairy Bells (Prosartes hookeri), Small-flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora), Wood Violet (Viola glabella) in forested areas, Nuttall`s toothwort (Cardamine nuttalli var. nuttallii), False Solomon's-Seal (Maianthemum racemosum), Sweet Colt's Foot (Petasites frigidus) near trailhead, Pacific Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum tenuipes), the occasional Fairy Slipper (Calypso bulbosa), and the last of the Western Trillium (Trillium ovatum). |
