Dog Mountain Summit

Thanks to the invitation of a local hiker friend, we had the wonderful opportunity to hike Dog Mountain this Sabbath. It was a slightly cloudy and windy day, which is perfect for hiking. Dad and Stuart joined us for the adventure and we had a blast. Dog Mountain is rated the second most difficult hike in the Columbia Gorge. It is 3.8 miles one way and about 99.7% uphill. However, the views are beautiful and the flowers abundant. Here are a few pictures from the trek.
