Wonderful spring hike. Reached turnoff to FR 70 at 7:00 am and were greeted by two elk grazing by the side of the road. There are a few spots where there is water on the trail, but nothing difficult to avoid. Greenwater River is spectacular now with heavy spring melt. Both Greenwate Lakes lived up to their names and were quite green! We took the right fork to Lost Lake but ran into solid snow about 1/4 mile later and headed back down.

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.)
