Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
We had done this hike on 8-10-12 and returned today to show our son and his family who are visiting from Massachusetts the beauty of the area. Our son grew up hiking and enjoying the trails in Wa. Today we wanted to share the beauty of the flowers and mountains with his wife and 2 children, ages 12 and 13. The flowers seemed at their peak and the fragrance of the lupine was heavenly! We started at Tipsoo Lake and hiked the trail clockwise. Although lighting for pictures is better in the AM, we still were able to get beautiful pictures of the flowers and the expansive views!

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.)
