Day hike

Hiked the Pacific Crest
from Stevens Pass to Pear Lake. Made it to Vahalla in 2 hrs, Janus Lake 90 minutes later. Camped at Janus Lake. The water is very warm. Numerous dry camp sites near the lake. The mosquitos and deer flys are thick. Trail from Janus to Pear Lake is in great shape. Beautiful alpine hiking once on top. Pear Lake is spectacular. Not as many bugs as Janus. Takes about 3 hours to hike from Janus to Pear at a good pace. Saw alot of bear tracks in the mud but no sightings.

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.)
