Distance: 4.8 miles out and back
Sharing parking space with Bridal Veil Falls', the Angel's Rest Trailhead is located in the Columbia river Gorge just off Exit #28 from I-84. Considering the short hike to the summit and its relative proximity to Portland, Angel's Rest is a very popular summer season hike.

| Rock-slide path |
The path can be rocky at points, but footing is stable and
ascents aren’t too steep.

| View of Angel's Rest summit |
A pair of waterfalls lay on the summit’s path (Coopey Falls
& Upper Coopey Falls) but the real attraction is the amazing Columbia Gorge
views.
 |
| View from Angel's Rest summit |
The rocky, exposed bluff of Angle’s Rest summit is a perfect
location to kick back and enjoy a panoramic view of the Gorge.

| Friendly Chipmunk |

| Who knew chipmunks liked PBJ? |
If you’re lucky, you may encounter some curious critters at the
summit. My hiking partner happens to be
a chipmunk whisperer, so I was entertained by his antics.
