I hiked Curry Mountain Trail for approximately 2 miles and saw wildflowers mostly past their peak. Some of the photos are from a past file because they were better than the photos I took on the hike.

• Curtiss Milkwort: Some; at/near peak.
• Indian Pipe: Few.
• Mountain Mint: Some.
• Purple Flowering Raspberry: Few; well past peak.
• Red Clover: Few; past peak (near trailhead).
• Rosebay Rhododendron: Many; mostly past peak, some at peak at higher elevations.
• Spotted Jewelweed: Few; past peak.
• Tick Trefoil: Few; at peak (near trailhead).
• White Top Aster: Few; at/near peak.
• Wild Hydrangea: Two; well past peak.
• Wild Yellow Indigo: Some, at peak.
• Wood Nettle: Few.
• Yellow Wood Sorrel: Few; starting to bloom.
