Berry Report?
« on: August 08, 2025, 08:39:39 AM »
I'm heading out for a quick hunt this weekend into one of my alpine spots. It's about 5500'. It's a little early but I know in years past the southern aspect faces can have blueberries on them by now. Just curious if anyone has been up high yet and has anything to report?
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Some species of huckleberries (small & blue) were ripe the weekend of 7/26. My favorite, the big dark colored mountain huckleberries, are not going to be ripe for another week or 2.

This was in Gifford Pinchot NF at 4700ft

I’ve picked 3 gallons the last three weekends, not including the current one we’re in now, from 3000 to 5500 in the NE.

Lots of berries this year in my spot. Went out for  6 hours between the three of us we got 4 gallons. One of the best berry years as of late.

5k in the Umatilla is loaded with berries…. They aren’t huge but they are dark and beautiful.

Western WA here, we’ve been from ~2500’-3500’ and all the huckleberries, elderberries and mountain ash have been making a big showing of being ripe.  I’ve been really surprised at how much berries there are.
