The Gorge in the fall
View from halfway up Mitchell Point
Mitchell Point is a stop on the Oregon side of the Columbia Gorge just a few minutes west of Hood River. It’s the site of the now demolished but once famous Mitchell Point Tunnel. The hike to the top of the rocky outcrop is 2.2 miles round trip, with a 1000+ foot elevation gain. Last weekend was perhaps the last mild sunny weekend of the fall (or maybe not!) so we took the opportunity to have a picnic at the top. I feel lucky to live close to the amazing scenery of the Columbia Gorge.
