The Mazamas is a truly unique community, where deep Pacific Northwest roots meet internationally esteemed mountaineering and education standards. We're glad you're here!
Uber-popular loop hike on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. We hope to beat the crowds by starting at 06:00 on Easter morning, two weeks prior to the start of weekend permits. Be prepared for wind and steepness. NW Forest Pass or other federal pass is required to park, and parking is limited.
Please note that the Mazamas are adhering to all state and local regulations in offering our activities. Review our policies here: mazamas.org/covid19. You will be required to wear a mask within 6-ft of another person and to always have a mask at the ready in case we pass by others on the trail. We actively discourage carpooling at this time. If you are sick, you are asked to stay home.
