DETOUR ROUTES
Driving from Seattle, Exit 45 had a detour to exit 47. The trailhead at 47 had signs stating that this trail to Talapus/Olallie Lakes was difficult with high water volume at crossing and recommended exit 45, ForestRoad 1039. So I got back on I-5 and took 45 which is open from the Eastern side.

1039 TRAIL CONDITIONS
The trail to Talapus and Olallie was extremely muddy, but very do-able with boots. There was just a little snow on the trail. I got to the trailhead at 12 and stayed extremely cool (even though it was 70 degrees) due to the tree cover.

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.)
