Popular hikes in the Columbia River Gorge
The Columbia River Gorge encompasses a massive area of both Washington and Oregon, with plenty of trails available for all hiking levels along this 80 mile long canyon. There are hundreds of trails in all areas of the gorge, so make sure you check all possibilities.
Angel’s Rest- Not far from Portland, Angel’s Rest is one of more popular trails in the Columbia River Gorge. It’s a short hike at 4.5 miles round trip, but the views are amazing, and it’s a perfect day hike if you’re in the Portland area.
Dog Mountain - On the Washington side, this short (7 miles out and back) but strenuous hike has beautiful wildflower meadows and panoramic views of the gorge.
Mount Defiance - This challenging hike has a 5000 foot elevation gain and takes hikers to the highest summit in the Columbia River Gorge. It’s a 12 mile loop that can have snow on the trail as late as June so be sure to come prepared for colder weather.
