Maybe it was the perfect weather, or the wide well-groomed trail, or the wonderful sensation of dipping hot feet in the chilly lake--it's hard to say--but we loved this hike! It was just right for a couple beginning hikers with a pooch. There were a fair number of folks on the trail but it didn't feel over-run. The views at the lake were wonderful (and those at the parking lot were not too shabby either). This hike seems perfect for families with kids or anyone looking for a pleasant day hike or an easy overnight backpacking trip.

Dog Mountain (May 23)

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.)
