We love hiking!!!! There are so many great hikes in the Columbia River Gorge. The website attached includes tons of hikes to choose from....with varying degrees of length and difficulty. Some of our favorites include: Pool of the Winds, Wind Mountain, Punchbowl Falls, Labyrinth Hike, Horsetail Falls, Bridal Veil Falls. You can use the Oregon Hikers webpage to find an area to hike in, and it will list all of the hikes in that area. Click on a hike and it will give you all the information you need: Location, Map, Description, etc. I've linked it directly to Columbia River Gorge Hikes, but the website includes hikes all over Oregon and Southwest Washington.
