Terrific trail to take out of town guests on. Our second time on it with a couple months.

Being July 4th, there were planty of other hikers, but not so many to ruin the experience.

Fly fishermen were out in force and the weather was sunny with a nice breeze. Some wildflowers. But the trees and rapids steal the show!

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.)
