Went adventuring yesterday for the first time on Dog Mountain. It was a great day to be outside and the skies were clear, perfect for taking in the scenery. Just wanted to let folks know that the trail leading to the summit (on the right hand side if facing the mountain-this trail is a loop so you can indeed go left or right to start) was muddy but manageable. Once you near the first major view point there is a patch of snow/ice to pass but doable. Once at the summit, we decided to complete the loop and go down the trail on the North/west side of the mountain. This half of the mountain was still covered in snow at the top. You must be very careful taking this route as much of the snow was compacted and icy. If you are looking for a challenge- it's a fun choice but if you are concerned with safety I would recommended returning down the same trail on the more eastern/south side of the mountain.
Happy hiking!
