The interstate runs along the gorge, but we’d miss all the best sites that way! We are going to tour on the more attractive route.

It’s the Eagle Creek Trail, which follows Eagle Creek along its lush slot canyon, passing a few waterfalls along the way. The whole trail is 23 miles long, but you certainly don’t have to hike the entire length.

Latourell Falls

This one is called Latourell Falls, and it’s a doozy of a cascade plunging 224 feet over a cliff of columnar basalt. It’s just a short walk from the parking lot, so unless we’re in a big hurry, I do think this one is worth a stop.

Shepperd's Dell Falls

This is Shepperd’s Dell Falls, and it’s a worthy quick stop. It requires just a tenth-of-a-mile stroll next to a beautiful old bridge from 1914 to see this double-decker waterfall.

Bridal Veil Falls State Park

Bridal Veil Falls is next up on our waterfall tour, and it’s one of my favorites in a strong selection. This powerful, two-tiered cascade tumbles 120 feet over mossy rocks. Seeing this one requires a moderate, 2/3-mile hike.

Angels Rest

We’re approaching a classic Oregon hike called Angel’s Rest next. This one is a workout - it climbs 1,500 feet over 2.4 miles to a stunning bluff overlook. From up there, you’ll get views of Beacon Rock, Silver Star Mountain, and the city of Portland.

Wahkeena Falls

This time, we’re coming up on the absolute showstoppers of the Columbia River Gorge. Number one is Wahkeena Falls, which you might think is a really impressive waterfall until you see number two. But first things first: Next up is Wahkeena Falls, which truly is an impressive waterfall, that tumbles a tall 242 feet through a narrow gorge.

Hood River (pass by)

Downtown Hood River is great for strolling around and exploring its many boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, wineries, and breweries. It's interesting to poke around the History Museum of Hood River County, which has exhibits on human history from the Indigenous cultures of the gorge up through settlers, loggers, and Japanese Americans - especially as an activity if the weather isn't great.

Full Sail Brewing Company

In Hood River, I can combine both these things. If it's close to that time of day, a stop for Full Sail Brewing might be enjoyable. This little brewery opened in a former fruit canning factory back in 1987, making it one of the very first microbreweries in Oregon.

The Cloud Cap Inn was constructed at about 6,000 feet on the mountain’s northeastern side. This was the first permanent resort built on Mt. Hood, and opened in 1889.
