Activity Notes

At just under 5000 feet, Mount Defiance is the highest point in the Columbia River Gorge. This hike, along with the Mount Defiance-Starvation Ridge Loop Hike, are considered among the most difficult day hikes in the area.  The hike has a comparable elevation gain to the vertical distance between Timberline Lodge and the summit of Mount Hood, making Mount Defiance an excellent training hike for mountaineers in late winter or spring.<br>
