Columbia River Gorge Hike

Yesterday I hiked the Wahkeenah - Angel's Rest loop (8 miles).  I wore a full 35 pound pack - 25 lb base weight and 10 lb water (4 liters).

I parked at the Wahkeenah Falls trailhead and walked the highway to the Angel's Rest trailhead.  The trail was pretty crowded up to Angel's Rest but I was on my own above there.  Nice flat wooded section up on the ridge. Crowded again coming down through Wahkeenah canyon.

It was cold and very windy and the trail was icy in spots.
