Water on trail
Wettest I've ever been. The trail was more like a river in many places and the stairs were puddles. Granted, this was right after an overnight downpour and it rained most of the day. The boulders aren't slick and the trail isn't muddy in the steep parts, so you're okay as long as you have good shoes, but expect to run into lots of water on the trail in rainy season. On a positive note, there are plenty of the beautiful fall colors that we left the house to see. The mountain sides are a pretty mix of red, yellow, and green.

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.)
