Overview

Some minor scrambling to get through the pitch of the plateau but once on top it's all flat to walk around and explore and get a grand view of the Columbia River and the campground below

Need to Know

Discover Pass is required to park

Description

Trail starts off in the parking area of the camp ground then heads up towards the pitch of the plateau. This part might be difficult for some since it requires hands and some scrambling to get up but the part doesn't long and once on top there's plenty of flat places to explore. Hike around to see the different areas of the plateau as the Columbia River wraps around it and then work your way back to the pitch and slowly climb down through it back to the trail back to the parking lot.
