The Memaloose Overlook Trail in Mosier, Oregon is a moderate-level hiking trail that spans approximately 1.38 miles. The trail is known for its elevation gain of 315 feet, providing hikers with a moderate workout. The trail is well-marked and maintained, making it suitable for hikers of varying skill levels. The trail offers views of the Columbia River Gorge, a prominent natural feature in the area. Hikers can also see the Memaloose Hills, a series of rolling hills covered in wildflowers during the spring season. The trail also features a viewpoint overlooking the town of Mosier and the surrounding landscape. Hikers are advised to wear sturdy shoes due to the trail's rocky terrain. The trail is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the spring when the wildflowers are in bloom. Despite its moderate difficulty, the trail is not recommended for young children due to its steep sections. The trail does not have any facilities, so hikers should bring their own water and snacks.

Labyrinth-Coyote Wall Loop
Sadly because of the devastating Eagle Creek fire on the Oregon side of the Gorge, most of the trails are closed for restoration. As a result more hikers are heading to the Washington side and heading further east for Gorge day hikes. Heading east gets you some sunnier skies and prime wildflower blooms.
This 7.3 mile loop takes you through the busy Coyote Wall area, but starts on a much quiete...
McCall Point
The trail begins at the Rowena Crest Overlook on the Old Columbia River Highway between Hood River and the Dalles. Park at the Rowena Overlook, and you find the trail on the south side of the area. Follow the trail to the top of McCall Point. The trail is fairly level at first but then climbs steeper and steeper as you work your way up Tom McCall Point.
You can hike this trail almost any day o...
Rowena Crest Viewpoint
If you're looking for a minimal effort pit stop on the drive through the Columbia River Gorge with huge bang for your buck, this is the spot. Rowena Crest is an iconic viewpoint that creates a horseshoe curve along the road. This unique shape is one of the most photographed roads in Oregon. It's a very short walk from the parking lot to sweeping views of the surrounding hills, cliffs, and the g...
Mosier Plateau Trail
The Columbia River Gorge is full of hidden gems, especially for new folks like me. I just found out about this little trail right in the middle of Mosier Oregon.
The trail is great for new hikers, and if you have some friends visiting this would be the perfect trail to take them on if they don't have a ton of time to visit. Once you are finished with the trail there is a great little restaura...

Start out at the Coyote Wall Trailhead, which is just north of Highway 14 on the Washington side of the gor...
Hike Lyle Cherry Orchard
This hike is actually on a nature preserve owned by the Friends of the Columbia Gorge, on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. It's fairly unknown and you can enjoy amazing views of the Gorge, wildflowers during the springtime, and a trek through an old oak forest. The hike begins at an unmarked trail, just off the large turn off on the north side of the Lewis and Clark Hwy just east of t...
