Justify, a German Shepherd mix, leads the pack here, while Janet Dewitt rides her Warlinder horse, Remington, on Crawford Oaks trail just east of Dallesport off State Route 14 at Columbia Hills State Park. She and Cynder McLoud ride the trail once a week. Dewitt said they could see a lot of smoke looking north into Oregon.
