This week, I went on an amazing adventure to a place called Dog Mountain! This trail is located near Hood River, on the Washington side of the river, and is absolutely magical. It is known for its incredible views and stunning wildflowers. Although it takes several hours to get here, it is 100% worth it! The hike is incredibly steep - making for a great workout, and the winds keep you cool as you climb to the summit. My mom and I were blown away by the views from the moment we began exploring! In addition to the flowers, we could see the Columbia River, Mount Hood, Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Adams. If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding hike, this is it! |
