adorable deer was sleeping in the cool river bed🦌
berries :
🫐blueberry ~ there’s so many species idk which one :)
🔴red huckleberry (vaccinium parvifolium) ~ i LOVE these berries so much!! they’re sour with a little sweet and so flavorful! bloom time is april to may, and the little trees are always so plentiful w berries💕
💛salmon berry (rubus spectabilis) ~ these berries have the same textures as a blackberry and raspberry but their flavor is tart w a little sweetness. but i had heard ppl say they taste like nothing, but i like the taste either way⭐️
⚠️don’t eat anything without being absolutely POSITIVE it is what you think it is. don’t just look at the berry, look at the leaves + stem/trunk and properly ID it before consuming⚠️

Hiking is one of the most rewarding outdoor activities, allowing you to connect with nature while exploring breathtaking landscapes. Whether you're wandering through dense forests or along scenic riverbeds, each hike unveils new treasures. During your adventure, you might encounter diverse wildlife, such as deer peacefully sleeping by the river or birds flitting through the trees. In addition to wildlife sightings, foraging for wild berries can be an exciting part of your journey. Different regions offer various edible berries, and understanding their unique flavors can enhance your outdoor experience. Beyond the commonly known blueberries, red huckleberries boast a delightful tartness that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of wild salmon berries. However, it’s vital to recognize that not all berries are safe for consumption. Before any foraging, make sure to learn proper identification techniques, including observing the leaves and stems of plants to ensure what you’re picking is safe to eat. Embracing nature not only invites opportunities for physical activity but also fosters mindfulness and gratitude for our environment. As you traverse various trails, let the serenity of nature rejuvenate your spirit — a reminder of the beauty found in the world around us.
