The forest expanses surrounding the summit burned in a fire back in 1991, and lots of charred evidence remains. Its near-1500 foot prominence, the proximity of Angels Rest to the Columbia River gives you the false sensation that you could dive from the summit to the water below! The real draw, however, is the perspective of the river below - like you're on a balcony over a great auditorium. This summit is characterized by a long, rocky spine composed of a million-year-old Larch Mountain andesite lava flow surrounded on three sides by cliffs, boasting a striking 270 degree view! While you can't see any of the Cascade volcanoes from the top, you do get great vantages of Cape Horn, Phoca Rock, the Prindle Cliffs, Archer Mountain, Hamilton Mountain, Beacon Rock, Silver Star Mountain, Washington's Larch Mountain and many other landmarks, including the tall buildings in downtown Portland.

Angels Rest-Devils Rest Loop Hike ( TH | | LOG). Hope to hit the trail this Friday at the beach. Still a little swelling but I tried to be a good patient on Sunday and take it easy. Oh! And it just took me the one day to 'mend'.damnit! I was up and at it Monday morning. She said "If one of them wants to pack up REAL bottles of wine, then they can join us!" I knew I wanted a packing dog for some reason. Whether you’re a rock star or a regular customer, the point is to party, and when you hit two o’clock in the morning, its no-tell motel time This is the way it’s been since the Rainbow Bar & Grill opened on April. They could have the bottle if they wanted! I told my friend how many comments have been made on her wine choice. The Rainbow Bar & Grill, located in the heart of the Sunset Strip, has been a rock ‘n’ roll institution for decades. SCORPIONS!?!?! Are you freak'n kidding me? The snake on the way up was bad enough! That's good to know though. in tiny Scorpion-sized wine glasses they could hold in their little pinchers.? Splintercat wrote:Hope that ankle is improving Rachelle! Okay, now that you're safely in front of a crackling fire "mending" (I'm storing this away as a perfect excuse for a couple of unscheduled days off.), I'll mention the SCORPIONS that several folks have spotted up there after dark.!!! But they probably wouldn't sting you if you shared your bottle of Picnic Pink with them. Just need a couple days in this position and I’ll be good to go! So much fun! Would absolutely do it again. LOL! Thank goodness we have an orthopedic surgeon Dad on my daughters soccer team! All is good. We were doing so good until about a 100 yards from the trailhead, it happened…Īnd here I sit…mending a twisted ankle. Now the REAL fun begins! Hiking out with headlamps! OMG! What a blast! 
Prepared as usual…and it’s a plastic bottle! Much lighter to pack! Yup…that’s right…I’ve got dinner and wine in this pack. The sun was beautiful the way it hit the trees on the way down Remember what this looks like in the daylight… Our first peak at the river on the way up… The weather was perfect! We got to the TH at about 4:30, with plenty of time before our scheduled 6:17pm sunset show to begin… So, a girlfriend and I decided last minute to pack up some dinner, a bottle of wine and head up Angels Rest to watch the sunset and amazing views.
#ANGELS REST SUNSET FULL#
Saturday night’s sunset and full moon were going to be too beautiful to miss.
