Wildflowers on Dog Mountain

There are lots of places this time of year to see the Oregon Cascades delightful blooming wildflowers but one of my favorite places is Dog Mountain in the Gorge (on the Washington side in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest). The hike is quite strenuous especially in the beginning and it's about 7 miles round trip so be prepared to make a day of it unless you're a superstar. Bring a wildflower id book if you want to make the effort, or leave the books and the cameras at home and just enjoy.
