Hike
Wygant Trail, Hood River, Oregon
View Original Description
Wygant Trail is 8 miles out and back with an elevation gain around 2,300 feet. It first follows and abandoned section of Historic Columbia River Highway. As it transitions to wilderness, the trail dives into a dense forest hillside along a gurgling creek, then follows switchback up to the summit with a few views of the Gorge along the way. The summit view is obscured by a grove of dense Douglas firs. Follow a game trail to a meadow to see glimpses of that original view that inspired the trail.
Michell Point Trailhead provides access to two trails that wind through Wygant State Natural Area: Wygant Trail starts on the west end of the parking lot.
