SUMMARY:Hike 'n Pull at Dog Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Join Friends and the U.S. Forest Service for our second summer “hike and pull” work party to remove invasive weed herb Robert geranium that is sneaking up the trail corridors! Dog Mt. is known for it’s spectacular wildflower meadows and dramatic Gorge views from the top\, however the understory of this trail is also quite spectacular and full of biodiversity including orchids. By volunteering with this project you will learn more about the understory ecology and help keep this ecosystem in tact – and enjoy all the views along the way! \nWhat to expect: this trail is rated as “strenuous”  and is very steep with up to 2500′ elevation gain. You can expect hike up to 6 miles roundtrip along the dirt trail. Weed removal spots are approximately 3 miles up the trail not too far below the summit so be prepared for the climb. Luckily\, the plant has shallow roots that are easy to pull. Work includes walking off trail and moving along sloped and flat terrain\, bending\, kneeling\, pulling. \nSite notes: NW Forest Day Passes will provided for parking. There is a USFS vault toilet near the trailhead. Poison oak grows alongside portions of the trail that we will identify and avoid and also chat about tick and rattlesnake safety. \nBefore you register\, please:\nClick HERE to read our Liability Waiver – You will be asked to check a box acknowledging you read waiver during registration. \nThis project is in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service\, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. \nRegister HERE.
