When you cross the bridge from Hood River into Washington State and take a right on Hwy 14 you will eventually come to the Old Highway 8 that veers off to the left.

Here is the river at different times of day:\u00a0\"g2\"<\/p>\n

\"dawn-at-the-gorge\"<\/p>\n

Or get ready for a serious hike up\u00a0Coyote Wall,\u00a0<\/em>through a constantly changing landscape, flat boulders, Aspens stands, pine forests, the occasional remnant of structures for collecting and branding cattle.<\/p>\n

\"dsc_0248\"Steep, slippery, with chances of rattlesnakes in the summer and chances of being shot in the fall…. it’s all worth it to get a sense of the might of the river snaking through the Gorge.\"z12\"<\/p>\n

No kidding, by the way, about\u00a0the “being shot” part – it was typical for me to read the warning sign about wearing orange vests to be visible in deer hunting season AFTER I returned to the car. Never thought that public hiking paths could fall within hunting grounds. No harm, no foul, I guess. I do admit, though, that it is not particularly wise to hike there alone. I will keep that in mind, and a SPOT locator in my pocket that can call 911 from anywhere with\u00a0satellite GPS. Floppy ears might not be so lucky….\"dsc_0197\"<\/p>\n

In the late spring a profusion of wildflowers can be found in these places (and many others in the Gorge.) So today’s book recommendation offers a variety of sources to get you hooked on some serious beauty in our region. The compilation was done by the native plants society\/WA chapter.<\/p>\n
