Why You Should Go Now
Ripe berries
Tonga Ridge is a popular hike, but it wasn't as busy as I remembered it. Trail is in good shape, so is the 10 mile road off HIghway 2. We got some very nice views toward Mt. Daniels/Foss River area. Started to drizzle on us just before reaching the low pass at 3 miles. Kids ran and ran, the trail has a nice smooth tread and is easy and pretty level. Great berries! Picked about a qurt and saw other people there just to pick. A few bushes were quite dense, but other wise there were still plenty to pick and at prime ripeness.

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.)
