If you want to know what to do outside of your hike, <a href=\"https:\/\/beautahfulworld.com\/one-day-in-portland-oregon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check out this post on how to spend a day in Portland<\/a>. It is easiest to rent a car, but there are some shuttle options available for some of the hikes if this is not an option for you. Uber and Lyft are also a possibility, although they could be expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Columbia River itself serves as the state line between Washington and Oregon in the gorge area. There are hikes on both sides of the river in each state. If you plan to cross the bridges east of the Portland\/Vancouver area, be prepared to pay a toll. In Cascade Locks, the Bridge of the Gods costs $2 for most vehicles (you can check the exact cost <a href=\"https:\/\/portofcascadelocks.org\/bridge-of-the-gods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>). The bridge in The Dalles has no toll but is currently undergoing construction (you can read if you will be impacted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/odot\/projects\/pages\/project-details.aspx?project=20442\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-wear-when-hiking-around-portland\">What to Wear when Hiking around Portland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You never know just quite what you might get in the Pacific Northwest, but it really depends on the season. The area around Portland has so many waterfalls because it can be pretty wet – so not surprisingly you may need different gear than when you hike in other areas of the country. In addition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/learn\/expert-advice\/ten-essentials.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ten essentials<\/a>, make sure to pack a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cJMT1R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">rain jacket<\/a>, wear <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/32myKpe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">waterproof shoes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cLfq71\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">gloves<\/a>, and bring extra layers – I prefer wool baselayers from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woolx.com\/?ref=bb-7w5587\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">WoolX Wool<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=90949096-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B08WHSVM78&asins=B08WHSVM78&linkId=a45e574df0496edaa44c04c31aa49f18&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=90949096-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B073RN73CX&asins=B073RN73CX&linkId=fe668a621c545ef2b65c91407d3050d4&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=90949096-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00RW285VK&asins=B00RW285VK&linkId=ef0c7d8c0c1ed1f2e6f9abdbb8d6ec46&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@andreafcannon\/video\/7085444383876730154\" data-video-id=\"7085444383876730154\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"> <section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@andreafcannon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@andreafcannon?refer=embed\">@andreafcannon<\/a> <p>Which one is your favorite??

They are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul type=\"video\">\n<li>Interagency\/America the Beautiful Annual Pass – This pass is also known as the “national parks pass” but it offers so much more. It also allows use of many US Forest Service sites, recreation areas, and Bureau of Land Management land. It is currently $80 for 12 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul type=\"video\">\n<li>Northwest Forest Pass – This pass is not necessary if you already have the Interagency\/America the Beautiful Pass as this pass gets you access to everywhere that the Northwest Forest Pass does. However if you are local and not planning to visit any other federally-managed lands outside of Oregon and Washington, you will save money by purchasing this pass. It is currectly $30 for 12 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul type=\"video\">\n<li>Oregon State Parks Pass – For state park areas in Oregon you can purchase an annual pass for $30 or 24 month pass for $50. <a href=\"https:\/\/store.oregonstateparks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here is the link<\/a>. Daily Oregon State park permits must be purchased on site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul type=\"video\">\n<li>Washington Discover Pass – Similar to the state parks in Oregon, Washington has its own parks pass for its state parks called the Discover Pass. Daily passes and annual passes can be purchased online at this link <a href=\"https:\/\/store.discoverpass.wa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about these passes including fee-free days, check out these links: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.oregonstateparks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oregon State Parks Pass<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverpass.wa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Washington Discover Pass<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wta.org\/go-outside\/passes\/what-pass-do-i-need-faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Washington Trail Association “What Pass Do I need FAQ”<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/detail\/olympic\/passes-permits\/recreation\/?cid=stelprdb5352358\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US Forest Service Pass information<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leave-no-trace\">Leave No Trace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A really important piece of exploring is protecting the nature that you are visiting.

Keep in mind that this is a matter of personal opinion so these will not be ranked in any particular order. Most of these trails are relatively difficult so if you are beginner hiker, hiking with your family, or just looking for a short trail, check out these <a href=\"https:\/\/beautahfulworld.com\/easy-hikes-near-portland-oregon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">easy hikes near Portland<\/a> instead. Proximity to Portland is also somewhat subjective, but all of these hikes can be completed in a day trip from Portland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tunnel-falls\">Tunnel Falls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Number of Miles: 12+ miles<br>Elevation Gain: 1,778 ft<br>Difficulty (1 is easiest \u2013 5 is hardest): 4<br>Permit Required: Yes (self-issued)<br>Fees (if applicable): $5, covered under the Northwest Forest Pass\/America The Beautiful Annual Pass<br>Dogs Allowed: Yes<br>Best Time of Year to Hike: Year-round<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-description=\"There are so many amazing hikes in the Columbia River Gorge that divides Oregon and Washington.

It does take a little more effort to get to, however you do pass at least a dozen waterfalls along the way \u2013 at least on a rainy day. This is a popular trail but going on a rainy weekday really cut down on the number of people. It is located in Eagle Creek which had a fire several years ago so the area is still recovering, I only visited after the fire and can confirm it is still beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram aligncenter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CbatUaPAmIB\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
