Bodhi and I did an easy jaunt up Hood River Mountain yesterday to see some wildflowers before they were cooked.
Hood River is on the dry side of the Cascades. The wildflowers there come earlier and are done before ones on the wet, snowy west side.
The hike starts in forest, then goes up a long ridge east of the Hood River Valley.
The conditions were strange: low clouds and hot sun.
Bodhi drank a lot of water, all his quart and most of mine.
I have never seen so much poison oak. When we arrived home. I combed him out for ticks (found one) and gave him a bath to get rid of oak oil.

Beautiful pictures! Too bad these weren't up for the may flowers HOTM.

Beautiful photos! I love the rich colors in those photos, makes me really want to go back to PNW in the summer...

Bring Polar and we'll go hiking!
