This hike, along with Multnomah Falls, is probably the best well known and most visited trail in the Gorge. Reasons are many, it offers multiple waterfalls along the way, it can be a short or a very long hike depending on how far you want to go and it’s relatively close to town. I’ve done this hike many times, to different destinations and even as an exit route from a backpacking loop. This time it was a jaunt to Tunnel Falls and back as Kim was training to become an assistant organizer in my group. We started on a very foggy morning that offered some great views of the canyon but limited possibilities for pictures. We also noted that the creek was running a bit lower than usual which left some waterfalls a bit less impressive than usual but equally pleasing. One thing’s for sure though, if you have a chance to do a single hike in this area, this should be high up in the list.
