Season: Spring thru Fall with occasional winter opportunities

An excellent hike up a fairly steep mostly forested mountain to the
open vistas of the top. In season (late May thru June) the
floral displays are among the best.
The trail head parking lot is
very large for a hiking area, which attests to the popularity of
this hike. There are three basic ways to climb Dog Mtn:
- #1 - the western route - longer - gentler - very scenic
- #2 - the central route - shortest - steepest - forest
- #3 - the eastern route - moderate - most view at top
Whatever route you choose, and whatever season you choose, you will find this a spectacular hike for sure.
