Cape Horn — Saturday, Sep. 26, 2020

Beautiful trail. Started at the right trail junction and it started raining and I did not have rain gear because no rain was predicted for today. Nice trail shower and it kept us cool as we assented the 800 foot slope. The views on this trail are amazing. We did the entire 7.5 mile loop. The trail becomes moderately difficult toward the end because of the scree slopes the rocks were slippery because of the rain. The waterfalls along this trail are beautiful. Once you are through the difficult rocks you will reach Cape Horn Road and it is a little over a mile on this pave uphill road to reach the trail back to the parking lot. This is a not to be missed trail in the Columbia Gorge. If you hike it read about the history of this trail and how it was created. Nancy Russell was a wonderful visionary and this trail would not have been possible with out her.
