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

Level A   /   6.5 Miles   /  1600 ft gain /  Hiking time 4 hours Fairly easy hike on a loop going up along the top of Coyote  wall and descending through the Labyrinth. We should see early wildflowers, great views of the gorge and river, and a waterfall. There are some steep spots so good trail shoes and trekking poles advised. Weather forecast is looking good.
