Powell Butte is a great beginners hike for dogs that don't have any experience. This is a year round park with great views, and an easy grade. Powell Butte is only 4 miles round trip, so it can be done in about one and a half hours. Fido will have to be on a leash for this one, as the park is also used by people on mountain bikes and horses, and lots of other people walking their dogs. You will also have to have fresh water for Fido and a collapsible bowl for him to drink from, don't forget he poops you scoop. Powell Butte Park sits on top of an extinct volcano, and is mostly open meadow where you can see (if lucky) Kestrels and Redtail Hawks hunting in the grassy slopes. This is a great hike that is close to home and perfect for any Sunday morning to get out and shake off the cobwebs. Don't forget to grab the camera and get some shots (on a clear day) of the five Cascade Peaks you can see from the top.
