Very large parking lot and plenty of space when I arrived at a little after 8 am. I made my way up the trail with the WTA trail crew around about 9am and we reached the Puppy Dog view point at around 11am. The Puppy Point trail was overgrown, and so we started clearing brush and re-working tread. I think the trail was definitely more passable by the end of the day but still needed work, especially toward the top. A trail crew was due to return the next day.
We took a detour by the Dog Mountain view point before heading down the mountain. It was a beautifully clear day with views of the gorge, Mount Hood and Mount St Helens.
