HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Beautiful but hard, don’t forget your poles.

so much fun but bring poles and maybe gloves because some of these scrambles can get a bit scary and some extra support can seriously go a long way.

So cool to take pictures up here on a misty foggy day. My girlfriend got incredible pictures up here

This really put me to a challenge but it was so worth it. It’s hard to do in one day and I’d like to come and backpack it again because I’d love to see it all at night. But I can not recommend this enough.

I really enjoyed this one. There’s a lot of variety along the way and I had a good time sitting by the “beach” and just watching the river go by. If you’re lucky you might spot some fish!

Bring cramp ons in case because the snow on this trail is a bit random. But god is it beautiful. Totally worth it for the view!

I’m not much of a biker but I decided to challenge myself with this. Admittedly I only got about halfway and it started to rain and I was not expecting rain for the day so I had to turn around. I’d love to try this again on a guaranteed sunny day though!

It’s very fun but it’s also very popular. It’s got a great view of the Gorge and isn’t too challenging but it’s also not easy. Check this one out!

This makes me wanna spend the night in this hotel. Or I wish this hotel was my house. It’s amazing!! Great for out of towners and tourists

My girlfriend is a waterfall chaser and we love to sit out here in the morning. We’ve done yoga here before! Which as weird as it sounds was kinda amazing. I recommend!!

Not a lot of people on this trail. I can kinda see why. It’s not awful! And the view of Mount Hood is dope but there’s nothing particularly special about this trail. I didn’t mind the serenity though.

We brought my brother’s girlfriend here and she really enjoyed it. She’s not too fond of hiking so we knew the 0.5 miles would be ideal and it all worked out. She had a great time and so will you!

I really wasn’t crazy about this hike but I don’t feel like I wasted my time. There’s better falls in the Gorge but I’m glad to have crossed this off my list

Just go. You will not regret it. GORGEOUS.

My girlfriend did a super dope photo shoot here last January and on a misty afternoon this area looks sick as hell. I recommend!

I swam in these falls for a bit because I struck gold with an 80 degree day in Washington and it was just beautiful!

This isn’t really a hike but it’s a great introduction for people wanting to get an example of a hidden gem of the PNW

A nice easy relaxing hike for experienced hikers that need a cool down hike. The views on the hills are gorgeous and the waterfalls aren’t bad! If you’re feeling risky like me you can fill up your water bottle in the falls :)

One of my favorite forests I’ve gone through on a hike. On a sunny day it’s beautiful to be surrounded by the tall slender trees and then make it to the top to that VIEW!

My dad love loves this hike so I might be a little biased. I’d probs give it a three star if he didn’t love it so much but it gives me good memories. For an ambitious family this is a great hike.

This is Multnomah without the tourists. And arguably it’s better. Beautiful views and serene. Highly recommend!!

This would get a higher rating if there weren’t so many people. It’s turned into a tourist attraction and it kinda kills the nature of it. Still beautiful though.

This is the perfect hike for beginners but for experienced hikers it’s a little underwhelming especially if you’re a view junkie.
