Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Great hike today, a lot of wildflowers blooming. The erythronium (avalanche lilies)at the top of the trail near the lake are blooming by the 1000's, along with lupine, bear grass, paintbrush just starting, and dozens of other wildflowers. Trail is in good condition. A few mosquitoes near the lake, but they're tolerable with a bit of insect spray.

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.)
