Larch Mountain, at a bit over 4000’, is the highest peak in the Columbia River Gorge area. It was jus a matter of time until we tried to do this hike. Unluckily, we found some snow on the top and were unable to pass beyond a certain point. Still it was a great hike. Sean and I combined people from Meetin and MeetUp and were also joined by four people from the Mazamas. The first portion of this hike is the Multnomah trail which is the same we do every time we go to Nesika. After passing the rough and hard first section, we continued our way up passing some open areas with rocks as well as dense forests. On the way down, just to add a couple of extra miles to make up for the summit we didn’t reach, we took the Wahkeenah loop. There wasn’t as much water as there was a couple of weeks ago, still, the stream and falls were beautiful as always. In total we did about 12 miles which was not bad at all.
