Angel's Rest is one of the most popular hikes in the Columbia Gorge and affords gorgeous views of the Columbia River from it's summit. You'll hike through varied terrain, including lush green forest, a barren area from the 1991 forest fire, as well as pass by a waterfall.

This short hike is well worth the effort. Plan to arrive early on spring and summer weekends as it can get very crowded.

Activity Notes

Meet at the MMC Parking lot at 8 a.m. Dress for conditions, micro spikes and poles would be useful for icy conditions. Due to weather conditions and the long drive I?m changing the Mazamas hike  FROM: Falls Creek Falls  TO: Angels Rest, (5 miles) a much more accessible hike. Be prepared for snow so bring your hiking poles and spikes.    If you?d rather not do this hike, please let me know and I?ll see that your deposit is refunded.
