Quinn Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge: Where you and nature are always honored guests


Gifford Pinchot Forest
falls creek falls trail


Falls in Skamania County and Columbia River Gorge
The Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge offers more spectacular waterfalls along with unique hiking opportunities than its southern neighbor, Oregon. And many hikes are suitable for beginners who appreciate a gradual ascent along well-groomed, marked trails.

Come along on a picture tour below of our hike to
Falls Creek Falls in the summer of 2005.

Visit nearby Government Mineral Springs where tourists have been drinking the medicinal mineral waters since the turn of the last century while gazing at 500-year old Douglas fir trees.
