Angels Rest/Wahkeena Falls thru Hike
About this event
We will start early to get as much of a crowd jump as possible on the way up. After stopping to enjoy the view at Angles Rest we will venture eastward on the usually less crowded continuation trail stopping for lunch at the creekside picnic site. Then on past Wahkeena Spring and Fairy Falls returning via the Wahkeena Falls trail. In the event that we bring only one vehicle hike leader will arrange transportation back 2.4 miles to where we left our car. This alternative to the out and back adds less than two miles and negligible additional elevation. Please come prepared with appropriate hiking gear for the always variable Columbia Gorge weather and trail conditions.
