I would think that is generally discouraged. Years ago a buddy of mine tried to stealth car bivi at Longmire and he got woken up and chased off in the wee hours of the morning. |
Guess I got away with it then. So did several others that stayed the night.

Maybe they're more lenient about it now. I know the road end on the Mt. Baker Highway is a popular place to spend the night and there are no issues there, although it's not in a National Park.
Sorry for the derailment, your star trails picture is really cool.

Thanks Kim! I shot this last October, but only yesterday got a notion of how to process it to pull out what I was seeing/feeling on the spot. Rummaging through the archive...

It's that time of year when I spend time getting insect-bitten while vainly trying to find a fully pleasing visual composition in a clump of this plant with so many names...

I know it as false hellebore. I believe in California they refer to it as corn lily. How many other names does it have?

Wikipedia, which actually tends to be surprisingly good on topics like this one (per a former encyclopedia editorial director I know who did some core sampling of their various topics as "competitive research" some years back, and who said the science articles were "close to as accurate as Britannica, but a lot more comprehensive" - I'm paraphrasing), lists the following:
Quote: | The species has acquired a large number of other common names within its native range, including American false hellebore, American white hellebore, bear corn, big hellebore, corn lily, devils bite, duck retten, itch-weed, itchweed, poor Annie, blue hellebore and tickleweed. |

Lovely shots of Rainier, Mike -- the colors are so subtle. And wilson, I really want to go down there sometime. And joker, I think the false hellebore is one of the most picturesque plants in our mountains.
I was up in the Wild Sky Wilderness yesterday and came upon a mini-drama on a flower.
I was photographing wildflowers in the Wild Sky wilderness and notice that this bee wasn't moving. Then I looked closer ... Nikon D5200, Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8 at f8, 1/200th.
