Thanks for tips on July. I’ve gone up in July in the past (10-19th) and never had many wildflowers bloomed yet so was thinking end of July might be too early still

Wildflower season is very brief in the high alpine meadows. A week can make a big difference and it really depends on when the last bit of snow melts. Late July could be great or a bit early but after Labor day is definitely too late.
