a spring bucket list hike you HAVE to do once in your life 👇👇 ➡️ Save this post to inspire your spring hiking! 📍 Dog Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge, Washington This hike is iconic in the PNW as being the best wildflower hike… but there’s a catch… You have to hike 3,000 vertical in 3 miles to reach the top 🙃 If you are able to complete strenuous hikes, this hike is a must-do! 🌻 Wildflowers are at their peak in May, exact timing in May does vary every year. 🔖 You do need a permit to park in the lot and hike this trail from April 27th to June 16th ONLY on weekends. These go on sale March 13th. 🎫 You also need a Northwest Forest Pass or America the Beautiful Pass. These can be purchased online or at a local REI. 🐾 Dogs are allowed on dog mountain. Because it is a hard hike make sure you bring plenty of water for you and your pup. If this hike isn’t your jam and it seems too difficult, some other great trails nearby include Coyote Wall and Lyle Cherry Orchard trail. Send this to someone you want to hike here with!!
