Wonderful day
hike. Not too crowded -- the steep trail discourages many. The wildflowers are in full bloom on top, very beautiful. Not very buggy, even down at Mason Lake. 4 trees down over the trail from Mason to Defiance, but nothing that cant be easily circumnavigated. Total time 7 hrs r/t, with a nap on top and a swim in Mason both on the way up and down.

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.)
