The trailhead is located at exit 58 on I-84 eastbound. There is parking good parking for quite a few cars. Not many other people out on the trail this day. We only passed a couple of other people.
Mitchell Point is an absolutely gorgeous hike with wonderful views of the gorge and Columbia River. Although the trail is only 2.6 miles round trip it feels like more because it is very steep and sometimes rugged. You gain 1300 feet in about a mile. Once at the top, you can climb on the rocks to get the amazing view. Those who are afraid of heights can enjoy the view from the lower rocks.
This first photo was taken about half way up the trail.
It was a cloudy day but I had a wonderful time. I did the hike with a wonderful group of ladies. We had a great time and really enjoyed each others companies. The conversations on the trail were both entertaining and informative. I look forward to hiking with them again. We took a couple of group photos which are posted below.
Below are the amazing views from the top of Mitchell Point. Isn't it just spectacular living in Oregon. We have some of the most beautiful places within a few hours drive. I just wish it would be a little more sunny in the winter.
