Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) - Bridge of the Gods to Road 23 — Wednesday, Jun. 4, 2025

PCT SOBO - into Oregon! Started at the bridge of the Gods parking area. The trail gains a massive 6,434’ over 18miles (out and back). The trail contains a number of water falls and a mix of interesting vegetation - bear grass was beginning to bloom out! There was also quite a bit of Oregon poison oak in the Columbia basin side of the trail. Portions of the trail that burned in 2017 now have thick undergrowth in areas, so keeping an eye out for the poison oak was important! Some great views of St Helens and Adams, as well as peek a boo views if Mt Hood. A PCTA work crew was out maintaining tread and brushing - thank you!!
