It's high season!!  :2thumbsup:
The chokecherry plants are dripping with berries. So are the elderberries. The currants are also ripe.

I just picked a bunch of choke cherries today. It's a good year for them.
I've gotten a whole lot of good elderberries, also.
It's a berry good time of year.  :2thumbsup:

Choke Cherries - Water Road east of Mountain High East off Highway 2

Elderberries - about 1/2 mile up Blue Ridge Road from Inspiration Point - dripping off the plants by the road side

Did you get any blackberries. If you were there 2 weeks ago they should have been at their peak. Haven't been up there in several years but when we do go, we try to plan on being there the last 2 weeks of August. GREAT EATING. YUM

If there weren't a gazillion of these things at this spot, I'd be keeping the secret to myself.  :)
There are 3 HUGE elderberry bushes on Highway 2 just north of the Mountaineer Progress. They are LOADED with ripe elderberries.  :2thumbsup:  :o
There are enough that I will share.  ;D

It's a big year for elderberries down around Lupine Campground!  :2thumbsup:
The currants are also coming along nicely.
The chokecherries are good in moist areas.

Looks like a bumper crop of elderberries this year.  :)
The chokecherries are looking pretty good, too.
Haven't looked at the manzanita berries yet.
