March 29th Angel's Rest in the Columbia Gorge

En attendant le printemps pour repartir camper...we went again to the Columbia Gorge yesterday to do a quite easy hike to Angel's rest. It is located very close from the counterpart's hike Devil' rest, but very different in the scenery: Devil's hike was for the most part in the forest, with only few views on the Columbia Gorge. Angel's hike will lead you to the summit with a multiple gorgeous views on the Columbia river. The only negative part is the noise of the highway. Since there is no forest to cushion any noise, highway 84 will remain as a background noise almost the whole hike.
Length: 4.6 miles or 7.4 km
Elevation: 1540 ft or 469 m

Here is the hike in 3D:




And the highlights in video:

What did we learn?

- it can be pretty snowy even in the Gorge

- We were well geared - except for the gloves. Snowy weather IS cold

Wow... I've only ever hiked Angel's Rest in the summer time...which, I think, makes me a wimp :0(

The waterfalls are much more impressive in the winter it looks like! Great job surviving the cold!

Vous me manquez,
