HIKING THROUGH THE COLOR  Although they have gone by in the rest of the state and around Rangeley, the lupine are still in full bloom on the slopes of Saddleback because of our higher elevation. When the fog rolls over the summit - the soft grays and greens are a beautiful backdrop for the varied purples and indigos of these fragrant blooms. Come up and enjoy all the wildflowers and a hike!
