The temperature last Wednesday was 90 degrees plus, so Kootenai Creek was roaring down the canyon from the melting mountain-top snow run-off as I hiked with three friends. The white frothy water was a warning to not try crossing the creek. Blooming Spring wildflowers were everywhere. The single purple Trillium blooms and bunched yellow Balsamroot which we saw last week in Bass Creek Canyon were still around. Lining the trail this week were the smaller yellow Arnika flowers & white blooms of the service berry bushes. Arnika is added to massage creams in this area to soothe sore muscles.
