Anyone who loves hiking several miles straight up a HUGE hill, Dog Mountain is for you. I will say that anyone with the lung capacity to make it out of the forrest will be greeted by one of the most beautiful views in the Columbia River Gorge. We got lucky and made the hike just as the top hillside was blooming. While this picture doesn’t make the trail look too intimidating, notice that little white spec is a person like a half mile away.
