SUMMARY:Hiking Through History Near Hood River - 2 PART HIKE & WALK OUTING
DESCRIPTION:First part – Strenuous hike to Summit of Mitchell Point – Hike Difficulty Level: 2.2 miles | 900-feet elev. Gain \nSecond part – Easy Walk Through the Mitchell Point Tunnel and Along the Pipeline Trail – Hike Difficulty Level: 3 miles \n  \nFirst part – Hard hike to Summit of Mitchell Point\nSteve will lead a short but strenuous hike FOR EXPERIENCED HIKERS ONLY to the summit of Mitchell Point to enjoy 210 degree panoramic views of the Gorge. Please note that this hike is very steep (climbing 900 feet over 1.1 miles)\, crosses three scree fields with loose rock and then climbs an exposed ridgeline with significant drops on both sides. This part of the experience is difficult\, so only those with experience hiking these conditions should consider doing this!\n\n\nSecond part – Easy Walk Through the Mitchell Point Tunnel and Along the Pipeline Trail\nThose who only want to join for the easy walk will join the group at 11:15 AM to walk along the rebuilt section of the Columbia River Historic Highway through the new Mitchell Point Tunnel.** We will discuss the history of the first scenic highway in America and enjoy a picnic lunch along the way. Afterwards\, we will caravan by cars to Hood River to walk the Pipeline Trail (3 miles in and out) and learn about the history of the Hood River water system. Both of these fairly flat walks provide beautiful river views.
