Angel's Rest Trail, OR

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area has some spectacular views and trails. Angel's Rest Trail is one of those views and trails. This trail is 4.4 miles out and back and is right off of The Columbia Gorge Historic Scenic Highway west of Multnomah Falls.  It is a 1,400 foot climb from the parking lot to Angel's Rest. The view from the top is well worth the climb on a clear day. Be sure to pack water and lunch to enjoy with your view from the top.

This is also the perfect time to catch the early spring time flowers along the trail. In full bloom are Menzies' Larkspur (Delphinium menziesii), Chocolate Lilies (Fritillaria lanceolata), Pacific Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa) and many others. For wildflower buffs this is just the beginning of the season in the Columbia Gorge.
