Hit up this spot on the way back to Portland from Hood River. Shares its trailhead with the Elowah Falls and it’s super easy to do both in a hour or so. You’ll hear lots of road noise thru the first bit of the trek, but then you get a little farther away from the road any may just hear a train whistle or two. The trail wasnt crowded at all. Much more of a climb than it is up(mostly down, really) to the Elowah Falls. You get some great views upriver from the near-top. When we went there was a good amount of water flowing over, but per some other reviews I guess it varies depending on the time of year.

I did this trail with a group after venturing to Elowah Falls, and of the two, this is easily the more majestic. You cannot beat the views. It’s a fairly mild hike but there are the strains of loose rocks and going uphill. Wear good shoes(sneakers or hiking boots), and take in the beauty of the nature.

This is an absolutely GREAT hike! It has everything you want, including two waterfalls if you add the Elowah Falls piece to the adventure. Check local hiking websites for top notch photos of the trail, including a, «jaw-slacking approach along a catwalk blasted into a ledge». This part of the trail has a several hundred foot drop off, so NOSLIPPING! 600+ feet to the top. We were able to manage the hike in just under 1.5 hours. Another great piece of the entire adventure was the fact that there’s very convenient parking at the trail head. I’d say get there early and beat the late sleepers, but you knew that.
