7 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •
It was a beautiful day on the trail. Dry, and just enough clouds in the sky to make leaving the sunglasses in the car a fine idea. The hike is fairly easy, and set on a nice wide trail. There were a handful of cars at the trailhead, but we only passed a single group of two the whole time out and back. While the hike doesn't have the waterfalls and evergreens that many Gorge hikes do, the Oregon White Oaks are both wretched and beautiful, providing plenty of eye candy. There were some small wildflowers, but I'm told that in a few weeks it should really be bursting. TICK ALERT! THIS HIKE IS COVERED IN TICKS! I had two on me when I got back. Check thoroughly after hiking.
