Activity Notes

This is a qualifying hike for new hike leader Kate Cornelius. 

Come hike Angel's Rest with us! This moderate 4.5-mile hike has about 1500ft of elevation gain ending with a beautiful view of the Columbia River Gorge. We'll hike to the top of Coopey Falls, a 150-175 foot horsetail waterfall, cross the footbridge, then hike up some switchbacks to the summit where we'll take a snack break. 

Be sure to bring layers, including a rain jacket ('tis the season!), and wear technical apparel/socks (avoid cotton) - please check the weather the day of the hike to be prepared (it'll be 5-10 degrees cooler at the top and may be windy). Bring 1-2 liters of water and snacks for along the trail and our break at the top. I recommend leaving additional water and food in your car for the drive home! Be sure to wear sturdy footwear, as there are some rocky areas. Even though this is a short hike not too far from home, remember that the Gorge is still wild - we recommend packing the 10 Essentials and being prepared!

Please note there are no bathrooms at the trailhead. No parking pass is needed. Please don't leave valuables in your car.
