Cashmere Canyons Preserve
Central Cascades
As of May 10, 2026, Cashmere Canyons Preserve is experiencing excellent spring conditions. Wildflowers, particularly balsamroot and lupine, are in full bloom, though some reports suggest they are nearing peak or slightly past peak in lower elevations (May 10, May 1, April 25, April 18). The trails are dry and well-maintained. Parking is generally plentiful, with overflow lots available by mid-morning on busy days (May 10, May 3, April 26, April 25). Hikers should be aware of potential encounters with non-biting flying insects (May 10) and the presence of ticks and rattlesnakes (May 9, May 3, May 1). Prepare for warm temperatures by bringing ample water and sun protection (May 3, May 1).
