The Cape Horn Trail is one of the closest Columbia River Gorge trails to the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area. It features wide-ranging views up and down the river, rocky cliffs and crags, streams and a waterfall. The route is well signed and has seen numerous improvements over the years, including sturdier trail treads and new overlooks. Link: https://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Cape_Horn_Loop_Hike

Activity Notes

This is the full loop down to the river cliffs.  Will hike clockwise, starting down the road portion first, then up the trail past the cliffs.   We should have some fall colors and hopefully decent  weather. Lunch at one of the viewpoints.   We will meet at the MMC at 9AM Saturday.  We can carpool for those vaccinated and who wear masks.   Dress for possible wet and cool  weather.
