Cape Horn — Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022

Southwest Washington > Columbia River Gorge - WA
Cape Horn by mrpeanut

Are you looking for a pretty hike to do before heading to Seattle from Portland? This is it! The Saturday after Thanksgiving we were looking for this very thing, and Cape Horn is 30min from Portland then 3 hours to Seattle.

Trail is in great condition today and almost no wind made this a great experience. However it’s pretty rocky and steep in some sections so if it were raining or slick I wouldn’t recommend it in the future. We went Upper Trail first to get the hard work out of the way, then enjoyed a nice several mile gentle descent. Seemed like most other folks were doing that today, too. Not busy at all!

Beautiful day, nice close lot, TP stocked in the bathrooms too!
