Multnomah Falls/Wahkeena Falls day hike
This spring, get back out into the elements and experience the natural beauty of the Northwest with a hike led by PSU’s Outdoor Program. The Multnomah Falls/Wahkeena Falls day hike is scheduled for Sunday, April 21, covering five miles through the heart of the Columbia River Gorge.
“This hike is beautiful,” ODP Coordinator Ann Marie Hingley said. “It has some great viewpoints of the gorge…Spring is the best time to see the waterfalls.”
Participants are in for a relaxed but rewarding hike and, of course, some incredible scenery.
“The pace of this hike works for all types of people and groups,” Hingley said. “We will stop to eat lunch, and there also will be time to take pictures.”
Interested hikers should plan on providing their own lunch and come equipped with sturdy, comfortable footwear and plenty of water. The ODP has rain gear available to borrow.
Hikes are offered a few times every term, so be on the lookout for future trips, including the Opal Creek backpacking weekend trip on April 27 and the Dog Mountain day hike on June 1.
The cost for the Multnomah Falls/Wahkeena Falls trip is $25 for Campus Rec members and $50 for nonmembers. The deadline to sign up is April 17, at noon, with a pre-trip meeting taking place at 5 p.m. that day. To book your spot, contact the Outdoor Program at 503-725-5668 or visit their office in the Academic and Student Rec Center at 505 SW Harrison St.
