dog mountain is an incredibly popular hike up to the top of a mountain. this is my second trip up dog mountain. the same things surprised me this time around…it’s windy as hell at the top. people carry weights up this damn trail. there are a ton of dogs. the wildflowers in the meadow make you want to sing.

my friend, jen and i went on this hike. i must send a congratulations for her unbelievable tolerance of all things annie. i must admit i do not fully understand the popularity of dog mountain. yes, it overlooks the columbia river. yes, you can see mt. hood and mt. st. helens. yes, the flowers are spectacular. oh…i get it.
