[4] An abundance of wildflowers and plants bloom on the mountain from late June to mid-August, which attracts butterflies to the area.

A few buildings and some mining equipment remain from the original settlement, which consisted of saloons, hotels, and some residences.

The area surrounding the mountain was once known as the Bohemia mining district, named after the Czech immigrant James "Bohemia" Johnson, who discovered gold in the area in 1863.

Bohemia Mountain's climate is influenced by its location in the Pacific Northwest and the Cascade Range, as well as its elevation.

Because of these summer temperatures, as well as the seasonal lag typical of the Pacific Northwest coastal regions, spring occurs as late as the latter part of June, and temperatures warm enough for plant growth to continue into September.
