Overview: The most spectacular wildflower meadows of the Columbia Gorge drape the alp-like slopes of Dog Mountain, north of the Columbia River in Washington. in May and June these hills are alive yellow balsamrot, red paintbrush and blue lupine. Even flowerless seasons provide breathtaking views of the Columbia Gorge. Such beauty has made the steep climb popular, but with three trails to the top, you can choose your route.

How does this work?

This is a must do hike in late May early June when the Balsom Root are blooming. The most wildflowers I have ever seen in any hike in my life.

Sadly it was cloudy on the day that I went so I will have to go back someday.
