Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Higher part of Icicle Ridge is still covered with snow. By Mark Ainsworth
Cloudy / rainy on the wet side of the Cascades, so we did a "run to the sun" to Leavenworth Wa and a moderately strenuous hike up the lower part of Icicle Ridge. Flowers are just coming out, mostly balsamroot at the lower elevs.

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.)
