Activity Notes

The Elevator Shaft is an unofficial and unmaintained historic trail that is a direct route up to Multnomah Basin. On this hike, we will scramble up a steep, mossy, brushy, and loose boulder field that rises 1200 ft in just half a mile. There will be patches of poison oak.

After getting to the top of the boulder field, we will check out Meadow Ridge for a unique gorge viewpoint. After a steep ascent to the basin (about 400 vertical feet in 0.4 mile), we'll return via the Cougar Rock and Larch Mountain trails. (Note, unlike previous hikes up Elevator Shaft, we will not go to Cougar Rock, Nesika Lodge, or Waespe Point.) Around 6 miles of hiking and 2200 ft of elevation gain. We'll carpool from the MMC parking lot departing at 7:30 am or you can meet us in front of the Multnomah Falls Lodge at 8:10.
