Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Be Aware Of
Washouts
The lakeshore trail is currently in excellent shape due to the great work the recent WTA work parties did here recently, with the exception of the major washout of Meadow Creek between Prince Cr. and Moore Pt. The washout is very easily crossed now that water levels are down. Look for a rough trail down towards the lake that has one crossing just below the shelter. Wildflowers are still to be found including pink monkeyflower and tiger lilies at Hunt's creek, along with aging lupine everywhere. No bugs nor rattlesnakes in evidence.

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.)
