Lollipop hike that is available year-round on the dry side of the Gorge. This loop takes you up along the western edge of the Labyrinth, over to the magnificent syncline wall, and then up along it into oak/Douglas-fir woods to do a short loop back and drop down the rim once more. Coming down Coyote Wall, taking in expansive vistas every step of the way, is the just reward for slogging all the way up. Dogs must be on a leash, year-round on some trails and for half the year on others. There are ground-nesting birds in this area.

Activity Notes

Join us for a wildflower hike up Coyote Wall (doggo friendly)!  A beautiful gorge hike year round, this hike is extra stunning in spring when wildflowers are popping. 7ish miles with an elevation gain of about 1800'. Difficulty rating is moderate. For those interested, we'll likely hit up a brewery in nearby Hood River on the way back for foodies and bevvies.  Pupticipants are welcome, but out of respect to other hikers we are limiting the number of doggos to 5. Please indicate when you register if you plan to bring your pup by emailing aym@mazamas.org. All pup-ticipants must be well behaved and get along with other puppers. Any participant who attempts to bring a dog who does not indicate to us by email that they will be bringing a dog will not be permitted on the hike.
