A moderate climb to the base of Wahkeena Falls.
Then a steep climb to an overlook of the
Columbia River Gorge. The trail continues up a steep grade past
Fairy Falls. There are a couple of junctions in the trail which
offers the hiker a choice of ways to reach the Devilrest's Rest
turnoff.
The easiest route is to stay on Trail #420 until you reach Trail #420C
to Devilrest's Rest. This portion of the hike is the same as the
Multnomah Falls - Wahkeena Loop Hike, or the Wahkeena Springs Hike.
At approximately 1.5 miles, the trail comes to a major junction. Just
east of this junction, you will see the Devil's Rest trail taking off
to the right at a rather steep incline.
The trail climbs steeply up 7 switchbacks then
levels off for most of the remaining distance to the View Point.
It is a steep climb in a wooded area to reach the summit of Devilrest's Rest.
At the summit you will see a sign nailed to a tree indicating the
trail to Angels Rest. Take this trail as it will junction again
and lead you back to the Wahkeena Falls trail and back to where
you began this adventure.
