Dog Mountain

I don't have to describe this hike here or I don't have to say how steep it is, but the views from the top is worth the workout. There is already enough description everywhere else. This is probably one of the hike that everybody should do if you are coming to Portland. Excellent views to west towards columbia gorge and to East towards Mount Defiance and Mount Hood!

We took a "hard" way to go up and Augspurger trail down. There is a "harder" way to go up, which is half mile shorter.
Trail stats -- 7.5 miles, 3000 feet Elev. gain.
