Be Aware Of
Mud/Rockslide
Was lucky enough to spend a week out on Lake Chelan with a WTA Volunteer Vacation Crew. We worked the trail from Moore Pt to Meadow Creek. The trail in now clear of logs and the wildflower are out in full. We saw Chocolate Lilly's, Indian Paint Brush, Glacier Lilly's, Calypso Orchids, Balsam Root and a few others.

The trail crossing at Meadow Creek was not passable, as a rather large slide has really done some damage. You may be able to cross when the creek goes down, but was flowing pretty good when the crew checked it out.

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.)
