Dog Mountain hike
up and return via the scenic trail
( May 20th, 2006)
Started at 8:45 with clouds obscuring the top. The viewpoint at ~1,500 feet was good
and could see that clouds still oscured the top. Arrived at the top meadow at 10:20 and
had 4 seconds of sunbreak. Headed back down after 20 minutes and returned to the car
at 12:05. Balsam Root, Lupine, Paintbrush and Phlox were more prolific than
last week
