Good hike up to a beautiful alpine lake. The first 2 miles are pretty easy and then the elevation gain gets serious. Lots of people using the trail, so we recommend an early start. On the return trip, the hike back the car will be slow with almost 'rush hour traffic' amounts of people coming and going to Denny Creek. Over all great day!

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.)
