Larch Mountain (Multnomah Falls)

Activity Notes

Update: A fallen tree has destroyed the bridge about four miles uptrail from the Multnomah Falls Lodge. We will hike up to the bridge and determine if it's safe to cross the creek. If it's not, we will backtrack and return to the lodge via the Wahkeena Trail which will shorten the day to about 10 miles and 2600 feet of elevation gain.

At 14 miles and 4000 feet of elevation gain, this hike is an endurance challenge. It will be a conditioning hike at a fairly brisk pace. Given the limited hours of daylight, we will get an early start and carpool from the MMC parking lot at 6:45 am or you can meet us in front of the Multnomah Falls Lodge at 7:25.
