Dogspurger Conditioning Hike

Activity Notes

Dog Mountain plus Augspurger Mountain is a classic and very long Columbia Gorge conditioning hike. This date is a couple weeks before weekend permits are required, but parking remains limited, hence the early start. Be prepared for wind and possible snow travel. Wildflowers are possible, but they definitely won't be as abundant as during the permit season. Leader has led Dog Mountain before but hasn't hiked to Augspurger in the last 20 years. No one will be accepted onto this hike who doesn't reveal recent (February/March 2020) conditioning hikes in their Mazamas profile.
