After learning that there is a trail that leads to the top you may feel compelled to “see what’s up there,” but you should first know what it is that you will see. If you are expecting a view of the falls from the top you will, like me, be disappointed. The observation deck at the top does not extend far enough outward for you to even see the falls. An impressive view of the Columbia Gorge is available, but no better view of the falls after your 1.5 mile venture.
Unique Suggestions: Know what you are in for.
Fun Alternatives: On the trail to the top their are several views of the falls and they are the best views that you will get not looking up at them from the bottom.
