Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
The trip begins at the Mitchell Point Trailhead, located at Exit 58 on Interstate 84 eastbound. Walk the entry drive downhill, and bear left on an abandoned section of the Historic Columbia River Highway. Pass two wooden bollards and an open gate at a Wygant Trail sign. The trail follows the old highway under a shady maple/Douglas-fir canopy for a quarter mile before a short segment veers off the highway grade to the left, crossing Mitchell Creek on stepping stones.
Activity Notes
A moderate hike at the east end of the Gorge. A trail that had fallen into disrepair but has been rehabilitated. A tree covered "summit" but views along the way. Who knows what the weather will be doing. I'll advise those signing up when the time comes.
