Avalanche lilies (Erythronium montanum) are an early-season wildflower. Their flowers have white petals with yellow at the center, distinguishing them from the entirely-yellow flowers of glacier lilies. These Avalanche lilies were found blooming along Stevens Canyon Road near Reflection Lakes, but they are common in many subalpine areas in the park. NPS Video, filmed 6/13/19.
