Overview
This Dog River Trail #675 is well known as a mountain biker's trail and is shunned by many hiking purists. However, the mountain bikers have done a great job at maintaining the trail, and hikers are welcome here. Since there are now so many biking options in the area, the cyclists are more dispersed and this trail gets much less damage than its earlier years. When other trails are busy in the summer and fall, this hike is, for the most part, an exercise in solitude. The route offers a diverse arboreal variety that includes alders, larches, cedars, Douglas-firs, hemlocks, and stately ponderosa pines. Views of Mount Hood are exceptional, with fall hiking providing spectacular swaths of larches and vine maple.
