Gorge Morning Walks are casual, no-frills hikes in the Columbia Gorge; an easy way to get outside and start the day with fellow Friends on the trail. We’ll be gathering once a month, at the same time and place, so it’s a standing option you can drop into whenever it works for you. No registration necessary!
Meet at Mosier Totem Pole Plaza
The hike is 3.5 miles, out to a loop and back, with 600 feet of elevation gain.
All are welcome, including babies in carriers and dogs on leashes. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and bring water. We’ll be there rain or shine, so please dress accordingly.
