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

Join AYM for a hike at Cape Horn! This is a 7.4 mile loop hike on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, with total elevation gain around 1200 ft. If it's a clear day we will enjoy expansive views of the gorge, but there's also a waterfall, streams, cliffs, and more to take in. For those interested, we'll enjoy some post-hike snacks/drinks on the way back to Portland.
