Break out the hiking boots in June and you'll discover that the hillsides across the re-
gion have quietly exploded with a mosaic of attention-grabbing wildflowers. Golden yel-
low balsamroots, mauve lupines, fire-red paintbrush and pink monkey flowers are just a
few of the spectacular blooms competing for your attention in meadows from the Gallatins
to the Tetons. Know your blooms and you might spot more wildlife − grizzlies love bear-
grass, while hummingbirds are drawn to fire-red Indian paintbrush. Head to higher eleva-
tions in July for even more blooms.
