12.76 miles of hiking • 5000' elevation gain •
A friend and I hiked this trail shortly after the lower elevation snowfall last week. Once past the Dog Mountain junction, the trail had just a bit of snow for most of the way, with several inches at the higher elevations. We continued past the summit down to the opening with views of St. Helens, Rainier, and Adams. We did not have enough time before sunset to loop through Dog Mountain. We finished just as real darkness started to set in.
