There is nothing much more beautiful then the Oregon Gorge. It is about a 35 minute drive from Portland, Oregon.
This particular hike I am sharing with you is called Angel’s Rest. It is about a 1.5 mile hike up the trail. This can be dangerous and keep in mind the Gorge is not Disney Land. I would NOT suggest bringing kids to the top as there are cliffs.
As a healthy adult, I would rate this a pretty easy hike. You will see Waterfalls, beautiful trees, bright green everywhere, and the top you overlook the Gorge. It is one of the most beautiful shorter hikes I have ever been on. Lots is jam packed in a short but uphill walk.
Tips:
- wear good pair of hiking shoes/boots. Please, make sure they fit. I hear so many stories of people getting too small, don’t do that.
- Bring water and some energy bars.
- Take pictures
- Gorge is open again spring 2018 because some asshole kid started it on fire.
- Have fun
