Luxuriant Beargrass
Lewis and Clark discovered that this plant grows in abundance on these mountains and the horses will not eat it.
It’s found in the Northern Rockies, the Cascade, and the Coastal Ranges.
Beargrass is not a “grass” because grasses have hollow stems and Beargrass has sturdy green stalks with white colored flowers.
