This hike is on the OR side of the Columbia River. It can be a popular and crowded trail on the weekends - so we’ll hike it on Friday when hopefully it will be quieter.
From the Angel’s Rest trailhead we’ll immediately climb up to Angel’s Rest where we’ll rest and take in the views. Refreshed, we’ll hike a trail that takes us to Devil’s Rest and then loops around to re-join the Angel’s Rest trail, which we’ll descend back to the trailhead.

Will co-ordinate a departure time from the Columbia Gorge Campout.
