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.
Activity Notes
A loop up to Hamilton Mountain and back down via Hardy Creek. We'll enjoy views of Rodney Falls/Pool of the Winds and a short detour to Little Hamilton Mountain where we can take in the Gorge. The Hamilton Mountain Trailhead is currently closed so we'll start at the Hadley Trailhead.
