I *found* the fireweed two years ago, and make it a point to drive the Steese at this time of the summer just to see it again. It never ceases to amaze me! Thank you George.

These photos are great (as usual). Old George in Southern Indiana Susan, I don’t think anyone will disagree that you have really overdone it this time. These photos are great (as usual).

You should really try to make the drive up there, especially over the next couple of weeks, as I suspect it will become even more brilliant. I was quite surprised at how good the condition of the road was in. It's paved to about mile 60, and then goes to a hard pack gravel/dirt. All of this fireweed is at about mile 109-114 - a few miles past Eagle Summit. You could probably make the drive in a little over 2 hours. Grab a friend and GO! You won't be sorry. :) Also, sneak into the White Mountain Rec area. There's an access road at mile 57/Davidson Ditch. You don't have to go all the way to the campgrounds, but a few miles down (or rather UP) the road, you'll come to a beautiful overlook deck with sweeping views over the rolling hills.
