From: http://www.summitpost.org/dinah-mo-peak/154401
Dinah-Mo Peak was named in 1985 to commemorate Dinah Beth Ross. She was a resource specialist and taught for the Multnomah County Outdoor Education Program. She moved to Breitenbush Hot Springs where she became the assistant business manager and led many wilderness hiking and X-country ski tours. She was killed in an automobile accident Sept. 9th 1983 She was only 28 years old...
If you are interested in a trip report, search for "Dinah-Mo" on this forum.

Happy off trails to you!

Hi Dave, Thank you so much for answering my question about the origin of the name for Dinah-Mo Peak. The reason I asked is that I met Dinah on several occasions at Breitenbush in the early 1980s. She made quite an impression. She was a vibrant woman, full of passion for life. Her nickname was Dinah-Mo. I appreciate you filling in some of the additional details.
Ray
