We arrived to find 7 cars in the main Cape Horn TH around 8:30am.
Weather was dry but breezy especially long the Columbia.
After using the facilities, which were stocked and relatively clean, we headed counterclockwise on the trail. The trail was in pretty good shape, no real obstacles and not much mud.
It's been a while since we hiked this trail... years actually. It's a little rougher on the second half than we recalled but it was nice to have the varied terrain. Great views up and down the Columbia River gorge and across to the Oregon side.
We returned at 11:45am to 30 cars in the lot and many cars parked along the road. We saw relatively few people despite all the cars. This is a solid, close-to-town hiking option!
