With beautiful views, amazing spring wildflowers, and a relatively short effort, this is one of the most popular hikes in the Gorge. On a good day, you can get a view of Mt. Hood and the Columbia River.

Activity Notes
Come get one more hike in before the holiday!
We'll be hiking up Dog Mountain counter-clockwise, with the potential for some snow near the top! Here is the route we'd be taking.
We'll be moving at a moderate pace (1.5-2 mph) and should take about 3.5-4 hours to complete (with plenty of breaks).
I'll be keeping an eye on the forecast, but be prepared for winter conditions (snow / wind on the ridges). Traction devices (microspikes) and a shell required, even if we don't use them.
