On the Oregon side of the Gorge, numerous hikes lead to hidden waterfalls - or the not-so-hidden Multnomah Falls, the second tallest in the nation and only 13 miles from Cascade Locks. Just across the town's Bridge of the Gods, on the Washington side of the Columbia, more strenuous adventures beckon with steeper trails leading up to panoramic viewpoints at Beacon Rock and Table Mountain.
Cascade Locks, though, is the lowest point on the Pacific Crest Trail, a journey that takes hikers from the Mexican border in California to the Canadian border. Each August, the city hosts a fundraiser for the trail on Thunder Island in the Columbia. If you're around in November, kick-start your holiday spirit with the annual "Lighting of the Bridge," when the structure is decked out in its holiday garb. In December, the city finishes its Christmas decorating with its "Festival of Light."
No matter what time of year you stay in a Cascade Locks vacation rental, you're in for a memorable, fun-filled getaway!
