Did not check the snow level and tried to make it to Mount Zion. Too much snow, had to turn around. Decided to check out the Murhut Falls. This was my first time to the Falls and I was very impressed. It is a good time to go with all the snow melting. Since it was such a short hike, 1.6 roundtrip to be exact, we decided to go to the Duckabush trail. We found it rather difficult to find the 060 sign to turn at. We started the hike late so we cut it a little short and turned around at the river. It was a nice hike, I am looking forward to making it to "Big Hump" on the next 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.)
