If you're looking for an extra challenge--and spectacular views--hike Dog Mountain before the sunrise! It is well worth the extra effort; the photos don't begin to do it justice. I started the hike at 2:30am, which left more than enough time to see the 5:15am sunrise from the top. It sounds absurd to hike that early, but give it one try and you'll be hooked! Make sure to dress VERY warmly (lots of layers and a windbreaker) and bring flashlights.
