Activity Notes
We will park at Steamboat Landing in Washougal and hike along the dike paralleling the Columbia River. This trail has spectacular views of Mt Hood. This hike goes through Captain William Clark Park which does have access to the Columbia River. The hike continues along the dike to Steigerwald Wildlife Refuge and ends on the other side of the Gibbons Creek Bridge. . Dogs are not allowed in Steigerwald, but are allowed on the Dike. We will return the way we came, getting a different view on the way back. Leashed Well Behaved Dogs are Welcome, but you don't need a dog to attend. Distance is 8.2 miles with 300ft elevation gain.
