Tom McCall Preserve

Waterfalls, running waters, and river, mountain, and forest views draw hikers of every skill level to the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood area. These trail maps and descriptions will help you choose the right hike.

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
Maps and descriptions for dozens of hiking and multi-sport trails on this Forest Service preserve.

Historic Columbia River Highway
With the construction of Interstate 84 in the 1950's, many sections of the old highway were abandoned. Sections have been turned into trails for hikers and bikers, with more being restored for use each year.

Chinook Trail
The Chinook Trail Association, a citizen organization, is working to creating a continuous 300-mile loop trail that covers both the Oregon and Washington sides of the Gorge. This effort will connect existing trail segments with new trail construction.
