Join fellow wildflower enthusiasts for a full day of plant exploration along the high-elevation slopes of Mt. Rose. We’ll begin at the Mt. Rose Trailhead and zip by Galena Falls with the goal of continuing upward to search for alpine specialties such as pincushion plants, buckwheats, and other lofty flora that thrive at higher elevation.

This outing is ideal for anyone interested in plant identification, botany, or simply experiencing the diversity of wildflowers in one of Nevada’s most scenic mountain areas.

What to Bring:

• Plenty of water

• Lunch and snacks

• Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, etc.)

• Comfortable hiking gear

• Field guides or ID apps if you have them

Please plan for a full day outside, with changes in weather and elevation.
