DIRECTIONS

From the Portland airport head south on I-205 (use the right lane from the airport). Look for signs that say “I-84 East – The Dalles.” Take I-84 East for approx 45 miles to Hood River. Take Exit 64 towards Mt. Hood and turn left onto Button Bridge Rd/US-30. Button Bridge Rd becomes Hood River Bridge, a toll bridge so make sure to bring some change. Once across the bridge, turn left onto WA - 14. After about 1.7 miles, turn right onto Cook Underwood Rd. Go approximately 3.5 miles and turn right onto Kollock Knapp Rd. Gorge Crest (461 Kollock Knapp Rd) is just past the 2nd driveway past Scoggins Rd, about 1 mile. Turn right on the gravel driveway between the pear orchard.

Em’s favorite springtime hike: Dog Mountain. The hike is about 7 miles round trip. Blanketed with wildflowers, the trail is quite steep. The perseverant will be rewarded with excellent views and friendly conversations at the top. To get to Dog Mountain from Hood River, go across the bridge to WA, Take your first Left and head west on Hwy 14. Go about 12 miles ( Past Cook). You will come to a LARGE dirt parking lot on your right side- trail head is on the east edge of the parking lot.
