The Cape Horn Trail's 7.7-mile loop offers spectacular views of the Columbia River Gorge. Hike through fir, maple, alder and oak forests, over creeks, along cliffs and under a waterfall. The lower trail, closed for native peregrine falcon nesting, re-opens July 16.
Cape Horn Conservancy President Teresa Robbins, board member Larry Keister and Friends of the Columbia Gorge Secretary Keith Brown stand on a new set of stairs leading hikers out of the Cape Horn Trail. The log curbs, fabric underneath and gravel on top prevent the build up of mud.
A group of volunteers, including four students from the Interact Club at Washougal High School, installed a new hitching post for horseback riders near the Nancy Russell Overlook.
