Hiking the upper and lower Cape Horn trail [lot of photos]

Widerstand · Jan 27, 2012

Here are some photos from a few days ago when we had a cold clear day in the Columbia River Gorge. I took a few friends out hiking.

It's one of my favorite hikes to take people on cause its just one breath taking view after another.

Fantastic, very strong pictures that seem to carry the atmosphere of the area/hike.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

That place is just plain beautiful. Was that a waterfall you walked under?

Yeah the trail takes you into a waterfall you need to run into and there is not way around.

Neat. I'll have to check this one out. What's the difficulty/length?

Its a fairly mild trail, about 7 miles, lots of views.

Unless they've change it, there were a couple of dangerous spots on the trail (we've done at least one recovery there) so be careful!

Cheers,
