Hike: Dewey Lake
Region: South Cascades -- Chinook Pass - Enumclaw or Hwy 410 area
Agency: Gifford Pinchot National Forest
Trails: Dewey Lakes (#968)
Avg Rating: 3.54

Snow is almost gone from
the trail from the top of Chinook pass to the top of the ridge. There were still a few patches but could easily be negotiated, even with my group of 8 youngsters in packs ages 5 to 13. The trail down to Dewey lake is all but clear, and both lakes are clear of snow in the campsites. Flowers are out in full force. We brought plenty of repellant, but the bugs weren't really that bad. Fishing was largely unsuccessful compared to this time last year; Lost of small fry jumping out in the middle just beyond casting reach!!! Lots of people there on Saturday, glad we left before the crowds came... There were hoards of people making the short day hike on Saturday from Chinook Pass to the top of the ridge.

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.)
