Dog Mountain — Thursday, May. 2, 2024

Arrived at TH at 10:30 Thursday morning. Large parking lot half full. No permit needed for weekdays. Used National Park pass for parking. Trail was intermittently muddy under the canopy but dry once out in the open. Yellow flowers everywhere. Views of the Columbia and mountains beyond were amazing. Not windy at all up at the top. Slipping and sliding on the descent so sticks were a must for me. My daughter did fine without any. Gaia 6.62 miles, 2813 ft ascent.
