Columbia County Challenge

95Mi, Challenging

Despite its location adjacent to Multnomah and Washington counties, Columbia County is a relatively underexplored destination full of small towns (St. Helens is the biggest) known for their forested landscapes and historic connections to the timber industry.

What are some good day trips from Portland where I can go hiking in the mountains?

4-5 days in Oregon might not be enough for your mountain-seeking soul, but we'll work with what we've got. From Portland, your options are endless.

But if you want to get closer, you can drive a short 45-minutes toward Mt. Hood on Highway 35. My favorite hikes... More
