Dog Mountain

This hike is especially popular in spring when the wildflowers are blooming in the open meadows at the summit, but you can climb Dog any time of the year. The trail is steep and strenuous, gaining nearly 3,000 feet in 3 miles.

To get there, follow Interstate 84 east from Portland to the Bridge of the God in Cascade Locks. Cross the bridge ($1 toll) and follow Washington route 14 east to milepost 53. The large parking lot is well marked and is on the left.
