Green Ridge Miner's Trail, Green Ridge Lake

Day hike
  I was hoping to summit Galleon Peak but sketchy snow conditions made me think twice about continuing past Green Ridge Lake. The Green Ridge Miner's Trail is not as distinct as I remember in years past but is still easy to follow. It is however steep and unrelenting. There is no snow until you enter the area near the Green Ridge Creek, where there is plenty of snow. The lake is still frozen over and there was evidence of fresh slides coming down all the way to the lake. I had hoped for some filtered sun but it was absolutely cooking on the snow. A fun trip on a beautiful 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.)
