The Cape Horn Trail is one of the closest Columbia River Gorge trails to the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area. It features wide-ranging views up and down the river, rocky cliffs and crags, streams and a waterfall. The route is well signed and has seen numerous improvements over the years, including sturdier trail treads and new overlooks. Link: https://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Cape_Horn_Loop_Hike
Activity Notes
Luke's Saturday hike listing reminded me that the peregrine nesting closure is coming up. I also want to do the loop before the seasonal closure and Sunday works better for me so I'm copying and listing it too - if you missed signing up for Saturday, you have another opportunity!
