the view from a lookout along the Cape Horn Trail in the Columbia River Gorge.
This is part 1 of 3 of our favorite winter hikes in the Columbia River Gorge! This post covers the Cape Horn Trail. As far as PNW beauty goes, it’s hard to beat. The trail is a loop that runs a hair over 7 miles long with an elevation gain of 1350 ft. – moderate, but totally doable. It’s a newer trail with a lot of varied views, from deep woods to great lookout points to waterfalls to even some black sheep on the way back! Enjoy:
More lookout views.
winter wonderland!
frosted everything.
As we dropped elevation, the snow started disappearing, revealing a whole new set of scenery.
Hey, look! A waterfall!
Made a new friend at the end of the loop.
Cheers!
