Join Dr. Scott Taylor for a walking tour at the Mountain Research Station (MRS). We will be looking at the blooming orchids, a symbol of early summer in the subalpine. There is a remarkable diversity of orchids here, including favorites such as the spotted coralroot and fairy slippers!

The walk starts at 10:00 am and will last for about 2 hours. We only have space for 20 people. Sign up is required to reserve your spot. Additional details will be emailed to attendees one week prior to the walk.
