Why You Should Go Now: Wildflowers blooming

Beautiful Tweedy

If you want to get a rare chance to see the Tweedy Lewisia blooming here is your chance. It is blooming all along the trail and also along the 1 mi gravel road to the trailhead. Lots of wildflowers blooming.

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.)
