Highway And Popular Trails Reopen

For the first time since the Eagle Creek Fire, six miles of the Historic Columbia River Highway and several popular trails near Multnomah Falls reopened over the weekend.  Gorge trails now open include the well-known Angels Rest, Wahkeena, and Larch Mountain trails.  Drivers can now enjoy views of Horsetail Falls and Wahkeena Falls on the newly opened segment of the historic highway between Bridal Veil and Ainsworth.  The full length of the Historic Columbia River Highway impacted by the Eagle Creek Fire is now open.  The Oregon Department of Transportation reports the recovery included the removal of about 9,000 trees in danger of falling on the road and installation of more than 3,000 feet of protective fencing.  However, many U.S. Forest Service and State Park trails and sites remain closed with no timeline for reopening.  Visitors are advised to check weather conditions and the status of trails before heading out to hike.
