Day hike
Our leader couldn't have picked a better day to hit the hillsides of Dog Mountain! We were definitely barking up the right tree on this 70 degree day! The skies were clear and the trail wasn't too muddled with trekkers. And the flowers!!!! Breathtaking! Balsamroot was absolutely stunning! "I've never seen anything like it!" was the repeated refrain.
Everyone with a camera in hand was almost embarrassed to hold it out in front of them, knowing there was NO WAY humanly possible to grasp the wide angle reality of the hillsides entirely covered with blooms. With the mightly Columbia stretching far to the east and far to the west, an impressive backdrop to the massive stretches of yellow sunfloweresque heads looking into the sun, it's an extraordinary picture which a camera cannot do justice. Now is the time, folks! Go see Dog Mountain in all its glory.
I've posted just a few pictures... they are only a glimpse of what you'll see first-hand.
