This hike begins and ends in a parking lot.
The trail runs the length of the Rooster Rock
State Park to the east and returns by a loop. There is very
little elevation change, and very limited views. Please note
that the area along the trail on the banks of the Columbia River is
designated a " nude beach " area. Also, in spring and summer be very
careful for the stinging nettle along the trail!
Please note the Rooster Rock State Park offers three miles of sandy
beach along the Columbia River. This beach has at the east end a
special area designed for nude beach use. The trail I am presenting
does not come within view of this beach. (at least it didn't when I
hiked it and photographed it for this hiking guide).
But, be advised and proceed at your own risk.
