This very popular trail has a feast of features for hikers, including waterfalls, craggy cliffs, deep forests, superb vistas, and a loop option for the trek. The outing can done at any time of year although you will want to pay attention to icy spots in the winter. The summit itself is thicketed and offers limited views, but a bench a few yards back gives you a vista to the east of Table Mountain and the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. Other views come from the trail on the way up and at the Hamilton Mountain Saddle as you continue on the loop.

Hamilton Mountain is a highly frequented area on the Washington side of the Columbia River. We will experience trees, rocks and a waterfall. If weather allows, there will also be views. This hike will be rain or shine.
We'll meet at the MMC at 7am for carpools or you can meet us at the TH. Carpooling recommended as this is a heavily used trail. We should arrive at the TH around 8-8:15am. I expect to be back to the MMC by 3.
