High Country Plants - Day 1

High Country Plants - Day 1 - July 13, 2007

This class was taught by Roger Rosentreter and Ann Debolt.

Amy and I camped in Sun Valley for 4 days and attended this class in the middle of our camping trip. 

We met in the morning and talked about what the class would cover and then went up to Baker Lake on a hike where we learned about the different plants that grow along the road, trail and lake.  See pictures below for the plants we saw, as well as other information.

Excuse the spelling of the plants, I spelled them how they sounded while hiking.
