Description
The drive between Fairbanks and Anchorage provides some of the most beautiful landscape views in the world. This is especially true in the autumn when the fireweed's red and gold colors is on brilliant display.
Fireweed is found in meadows and woods throughout Alaska. It is a tall plant, capable of growing up to 7 feet.The name Fireweed comes from this plants' ability to quickly regenerate and grow in areas defoliated by fire. The flowers are used to make honey or jelly, the leaves are edible, and the inside of the stem is very nutritious. When the top blooms, it means that summer is more or less over.
