This is a Members-only hike. Not a member? Click here to join!
(Moderate, 3 miles, 200’ elevation gain and 450’ elevation loss)
Visit the old-growth forest groves on Larch Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge as you learn to identify the area's plentiful plants and mushrooms. Larch Mountain’s crater and the adjacent Multnomah Basin (above Multnomah Falls) contain the largest, oldest and most accessible groves of ancient western hemlock and Douglas fir anywhere in the Columbia River Gorge. Big old western red cedars also line much of Multnomah Creek and occasional moss and vine maple covered basalt outcrops add to the area’s diversity. Plant list provided. Please note that mushrooms will not be gathered on this outing.
