Dog Mountain, mid-May '02
|
|
I found a beautiful day to do this hike on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge... Here I am pretty early in the climb, new trekking poles and all... |
|
The lower meadows... Up above you can see where I ultimately ended up hiking to. |
|
|
Here's a view of the gorge (looking east) from where that other picture was taken. |
|
Getting closer to the summit -- the last mile or so of the hike was through beautiful meadows of wildflowers... |

This didn't come out too well, but from the summit I could see just the top of Mt. Hood beyond those other hills |
|
Mt. St. Helens, also seen from the upper meadows on Dog Mountain. |

Making use of my digital zoom... |

On the way down again... |
