Why You Should Go Now
Fall foliage
Lake Christine
We tried to reach Gobbler's Knob via the Lake Christine trail. Unfortunately a critical trail junction just beyond Lake Christine is unmarked, we missed it and ended up on the summit of Mt. Beljica. If you go, look for a short chunk of log that is sitting at the trail intersection. There are no signs and there are several trails leading off in the general area, most going to camp sites and thus going nowhere. If you are on the right trail you will come to a trail junction near Beljica Meadows which is signed, but this is after you have traveled downhill for quite a way.
We had an exceptionally clear and sunny day. The view of Mt. Rainier for the top of Beljica is incredible.
The road to the Lake Christine trailhead is very rough, recommended for high clearance vehicles only.

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.)
