Beautiful day for this hike. Trail is clear until you hit the 15th switchback, then you start getting into snow. Two tree's down across trail, but both are an easy step over it, and keep going. The lake is still frozen over, but getting mushy near to shore. Saw some folks ice fishing, looked like fun!

Did the trail in just my hiking boots,could have used my trekking pole, but did fine with out it. Coming back out the snow was getting a little slushy, due to the warm day.

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.)
