Hike Description

Hiker looking West from Wind Mt summit
The Wind Mountain hike is a unmaintained but fairly well-conditioned trail to the summit of Wind Mountain, a 1903 foot cynder cone in the Columbia River Gorge just West of Dog Mt in Southwest Washington.
The trail is moderately steep but short in distance and features one spur trail to a great East-facing look-out to Dog Mountain.
It's short distance to a great lookout makes this a great family destination, especially when one considers the history of the area. Children should be cautioned to stay on the trail and respect the site.
Fees, Regulations, etc.
None
