The day started to be a bit hazy, but it eventually cleared up as we hiked up the mountain. Clear sky by the time we got to the lookout tower. Some snow patches on the granite rocks, but other than that, nothing major to report.

Great day for this hike. Finally found the USGS Markers on the fifth try—two of them. Lots of bugs this time of the year, so bring lots of insect repellent with you.

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.)
