I think I have a new favorite quick hike. Angel’s Rest isn’t especially long in distance, nor is it especially difficult. It’s a great hike if you only have a few hours to spare, but still want more than an easy stroll. The most awesome thing is…once you are at the top…you climb this rocky ridge…and the Columbia River goes on for miles in both directions.

It was so sunny the day I was there. I fell asleep sunning on the rocks, listening to music while chipmunks played around me. I was there on a weekday and there were several people on the trail. From what I hear, the weekends are extremely busy.
