My wife Sandy and I hiked to Twin Falls this afternoon with our daughter, Elsie. It was a glorious day, sunny and warm, and the trail was surprisingly full of families for a weekday. Lots of kids and dogs. Everyone having a great time. We saw some wildflowers blooming, and the river was running at a very quick pace.

This was the first hike we’d taken Elsie on without bringing the backpack to carry her in, and she made it the whole way without any pleas to carry her. She was very proud of her accomplishment. Along the way we saw old growth trees, lots of butterflies, and some installation art - a round river rock perched on a fallen log. Lots of fun.

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.)
