Mountain Huckleberry Season
These are potential gathering dates, depending on weather:
Mountain
Huckleberries
Mountain Huckleberries are
a favorite sweet treat of our
ancestors. This variety of
huckleberry only grows in
high elevations and is
sweeter than the varieties
that grow on the coast and in
the valley. Join us and taste
the difference!
