Most folks in Camas and Washougal know the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), our nation’s longest and most famous hiking trail, goes right through our backyard in the Columbia River Gorge, but many local hikers have never taken advantage of the legendary wilderness path.
On a recent, hot summer day, my wife and I decided to give it a shot. We hiked from the Bonneville trailhead, near Bonneville Dam, to Table Mountain on the Washington side of the Pacific Crest Trail.
