Wildflowers peak in late July and early August.

These two trails in the quiet southeast corner of Crater Lake National Park are short enough, and close enough together, that you can easily do both in an afternoon.  The one-mile packed gravel path to Plaikni Falls ends in a wildflower glen with a spring-fed cascade.  At The Pinnacles, you can stroll half a mile along the rim of a canyon of weird ash spires to discover an abandoned park entrance.
