As you know, Dog Mountain is one of the most popular wildflower hikes in the Gorge—but weekend permits are limited, making access tricky. Luckily, hikers can skip the permit hassle by riding the Dog Mountain Shuttle, which runs every 30 minutes from April 26–June 15, 2025. Even better? Shuttle riders get a free stamp which serves as their hiking permit for the day.
We’d love to get your help spreading the word to fellow outdoor enthusiasts as the free shuttle kicks off this Saturday, April 26. Here’s the Dog Mountain Shuttle schedule and more information.
