Dog Mountain is a perennial hike in Portland known for its steep terrain and wild flowers. I've hiked it a few times. Sandi has wanted to for some time. We took a free Sunday morning in July and invited Sandi's dad and brother to join us for the 6-mile hike (her mom was in Japan at the time). As the sign above indicates, there is a shorter, steep path and a longer, gentler path. We chose the steeper path up and the longer path down.
This hike offers an amazing view of the Columbia River Gorge from the Washington side.

| Though pleasant on our day up there, the winds are often fierce. The trees are in a perpetual state of 'wind-blowness' |
 |
| We even got a view of Mt. Hood |
