This trail can be ridden as an out and back, shuttled, or connected with other trails in the 44 Trail network. From the upper trailhead down, the first mile is fast flow with very few obstacles. The next mile climbs at a mellow grade and gains about 400'. The rest of the descent is fast with only a few rocks and roots and one steep rocky chute followed a couple tight switchbacks.

*This is a very popular trail to shuttle as a downhill, please be cautious of 2 way traffic as some sections are very fast with narrow tread and some exposure.

Access Info

From Hood River, OR drive south on Highway 35 for about 20 miles. You will pass the Hood River Ranger Station. About 5 miles past the Hood River Ranger Station and just before you cross the East Fork of the Hood River you will see a parking lot on the left side of the highway. This is the trailhead to Dog River.
