Amateur botanist Barry Maletzky will lead us on an easily paced hike up Dog Mountain at the height of the flower season. We will hike up the steeper west side and then loop down the east trail, of course enjoying many stops to inspect the flora and learn about the names of the plants, how they received their names, and their relationships to other plants in our mountains and to familiar plants in our gardens back home. Because of the popularity of this hike, we must limit the number of participants to the first nine hikers who call the leader, Barry Maletzky (503)260-8228 or (360)314-6024.
