A great rainy day hike! We had the trail to ourselves today. Lots of cool old bridges, waterfalls and rushing streams. An easy trail with minor ups and downs. There are a few minor blowdowns, easily managed. There are a couple of stream crossings that cannot be rock hopped. Prepare to get wet, up to mid boot. Lots of hummingbirds right now, salmon berries and huckleberries in bloom. On your way up or back, be sure and check out the elk herd right off of Hwy 20, mp 85.

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.)
