Apr 10, 2016 — The Dog Canyon Trail (#106) starts from within Oliver Lee State Park and heads along the southern slope of Dog Canyon, where the views of the surrounding cliffs along the canyon are neat. The trail was in great shape and ascends with a bunch of switchbacks as it ascends to a grassy bench. This bench continues to an old cabin located about 3 miles from the trailhead and as the trail enters the Dog Canyon drainage at the base of a dryfall. The trail continues north, now skirting the slopes of the northern reaches of Dog Canyon, passes through the upper cliffs, and continues ascending up to Forest Road 90B where the trail officially ends along Joplin Ridge.
