Main (southern) view of the Columbia River Gorge from the top of Beacon Rock.
The main trail is a relatively short but steep climb. It was about 80 and a beautiful day for this hike. The trail is well maintained and there are guard rails all along as you progress up the side of Beacon rock. I did this alone but there were families with very young children and dogs also making the climb. The top boasts a 360 degree view (although blocked by some tree tops)that is totally worth the climb.

Dog Mountain

South Cascades

Head to Dog Mountain for Columbia River Gorge views and an explosion of wildflowers. Eager to get in shape for summer? Head straight up the mountain on the northern side. Take the slow and steady eastern flank trail to stop and smell the flowers. (See if you can spot recent work by WTA trail crews.)
