Avg Rating: 3.88

Oh dear, trip number three this year for me up the strenuous big four ice caves trail. This time was the most crowded yet, it being a Saturday afternoon. The trail construction indicated earlier by signs at the base seems to be well under way--it appears that they're trying to make the whole trail wheelchair accessible, though it will still be quite a climb for a wheelchair. Lots of people around and in (!) the caves, I'd of love to have seen the look on people's faces when we heard the loud crack of something collapsing later in the day. (We were out of site of the main area at that time.)

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.)
