Be Aware Of
Blowdowns
This is one of my favorite easy hikes. The vegetation, especially this time of year, is incredible. We picked a bag full of fiddlehead ferns which were abundant all along the trail. The trail itself is a delight. It is well maintained and easy to maneuver.
There were several blow downs and a few washouts but the WTA crews were out there working hard to restore it. The blow downs left are easily managed. The downside is the 9 miles of potholes you have to endure to get there are awful. I would not go there without a 4 wheel drive high clearance vehicle although we saw other "regular" cars there. I suppose not having that road repaired is what keeps the trail so serene. Otherwise it would be so popular it would be crazy. I only go there every couple years after I have kind of forgotten how hard it is to get there.

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.)
