Despite the lack of sun, Rialto Beach was crowded when we arrived at 10am. Didn't have trouble finding a parking spot though.

Easy walk along the beach. Lots of tide pools with star fish and other small creatures. Also saw a group of pelicans fishing.

The tide was low enough to access the arch. The rocks closest to the shore were quite slippery, lacking the usual crust of barnacles.

Dog Mountain

South Cascades

Head to Dog Mountain for Columbia River Gorge views and an explosion of wildflowers. Eager to get in shape for summer? Head straight up the mountain on the northern side. Take the slow and steady eastern flank trail to stop and smell the flowers. (See if you can spot recent work by WTA trail crews.)
