Who is just loving all the huckleberries (wild blueberries) on the trail right now?? Last week on a hike to Squire Creek Pass, the berries were everywhere! You might remember this area, I wrote about attempting this pass from the old trail on the other side in June and was turned back by snow and time. We made it this round by coming up the newer and shorter route!
I managed to slow down my group enough to fill my water bottle full so I could shuttle them home (the ones I didn’t just plop into my mouth that is) but not slow enough to take a decent picture of all the berries, obviously.
Of course, I had to make a few batches of my Huckleberry Scones to share with the family (even my picky son loves them!). And I enjoyed a few berries with granola, too. I remember when I was a kiddo, family camping. We would pick them and top our pancakes with them. Hmm…maybe I need to head back for another water bottle full…

How do YOU like to eat huckleberries? Do you stick to eating them on the trail or do you pick some to bring to enjoy at home?
