Wahkeena Falls Trail
Wahkeena Falls is a great spot for families or anyone looking for a short-but-sweet hike. This 1/4 mile out-and-back trail takes you to a historic bridge at the foot of Wahkeena Falls. Be prepared to get wet, because Wahkeena Falls is known for its spray! If you’re looking for a longer hike, you can opt to continue up a series of switchbacks to Lemmons Viewpoint, where you’ll find expansive views of the Gorge.

Wahclella Falls Loop
TKO volunteers have been working hard to repair winter storm damage at Wahclella Falls, and we’re happy to announce that it’s officially reopened! This iconic 2.4 mile lollipop loop takes you past the small-but-powerful Munra Falls, up a set of stairs lined with big leaf maples and fire-scarred Douglas firs, and back down into the canyon where Wahclella Falls lies hidden. Keep your eye out for a seasonal, fifty-foot waterfall called East Fork Falls, visible only from the lower level trail.

Mosier Plateau Trail
Mosier Plateau is a beautiful native grassland dotted with ponderosa pines and garry oak trees. This 2.9 mile lollipop loop trail starts in the town of Mosier, winding through a historic pioneer cemetery and alongside Mosier Creek Falls before turning into a series of switchbacks that climb to the top of the plateau. Be prepared for sprawling views of the Columbia around every turn and hundreds of spring wildflowers alongside the trail!

Memaloose Hills
Walking through Memaloose Hills is a wildflower lovers’ dream! The entirety of this 3.2 mile in-and-out hike takes you through a rainbow of spring wildflowers: bright yellow balsamroot, fiery red paintbrush, dark purple larkspur, and soft white brodiaeas. As you climb in elevation, you’ll also have great views of Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and the Columbia River.
