Snow on trail
leaving Paradise
Started off at 9 am from Paradise. Snow was firm and made for easy hiking in boots. Our two boys, ages 5 and 9 were with us and they did exceptionally well. Turned around at just shy 9,000 feet. Snow had softened to enable safe and fun glissading down Pan Point. Never put on snowshoes only gaiters. wonderful day!

That's a lot of hiking for a nine year old, much more so for the five year old. Good JOB!

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.)
