October 18, 2020October 11, 2020Nice hike with panoramic views of the gorge and Columbia River . Rocky trail but very doable.
October 8, 2020Beautiful views, very easy trail- went on a Tuesday- saw hardly anyone. Great place to go for a stroll with gorgeous views!
September 28, 2020A bit rocky, well marked, lots of side trails to explore.
September 20, 2020Did this on 9/19/20. It was a short, easy hike - just around two miles out and back starting from the crest viewpoint. It offers some beautiful views and I'd definitely recommend it to everyone. There were a lot of dry grass and plenty of dry flowers, so I am excited to check this place out in the Spring when the flowers are blooming. There are also a few very short side trails as well but some were closed.
September 19, 2020September 6, 2020September 5, 2020Really cool views!! A horseshoe view of the winding road up, and some amazing panoramic views of the Gorge. However, it was EXTREMELY windy, so just be prepared. A quick short hike with great views all the way through
August 21, 2020August 7, 2020Super easy trail with little to no incline. Gorgeous views of the gorge! There were lots of wind surfers below which was cool to see. This was the perfect spot for a relaxing evening walk to watch the sunset.
August 1, 2020Nice and easy. Was there on Aug 1, and no wildflowers left, but still a good spot. Very windy.
July 12, 2020Such a beautiful hike and so many fabulous views! There is alot of poison oak along the treed portion of the hike, but not a big deal unless you stay in the middle. Not alot of trees, so bring sunscreen, and be prepared for lots of wind!
July 12, 2020gorgeous easy walk. be careful - we went at dusk and I nearly stepped on a rattlesnake.
June 26, 2020Great trail! Kid friendly. Make sure you’re prepared for the sun... there is no shade. Great views though.
June 22, 2020Such an underrated hike, Super easy and the view is gorgeous. Not too many bugs, but they're definitely around. Caught a glimpse of a deer grazing on our hike! The weather was just perfect.
May 9, 2020This trail is super easy to hike. It was super windy at the top but made for an excellent experience! Looking out over th edge onto the Gorge from that high up with nothing but endless green and yellow brown rolling hills. This was my favorite hike next to Lost Lake Butte in Oregon! hiked 9/2019
March 22, 2020Gorgeous views of the river and many flowers starting to bloom. Easy trail except for the wind was blowing a little hard today. The parking lot was almost full but once you get on the trail people are pretty spread out.
March 19, 2020Breath-taking overlook of the river
