McCall Point (also called Tom McCall Point) is a 5-mile hike through a beautiful nature preserve. Take in great views of the Columbia River Gorge the minute you leave the car.
The trail begins at the Rowena Crest Overlook on the Old Columbia River Highway between Hood River and the Dalles. Park at the Rowena Overlook, and you find the trail on the south side of the area. Follow the trail to the top of McCall Point. The trail is fairly level at first but then climbs steeper and steeper as you work your way up Tom McCall Point.
You can hike this trail almost any day of the year, although that could be a challenge in winter – if it is wet outside, this trail can get really slippery! Especially from March through October, this hike provides you with a wonderful variety of landscapes to enjoy.
Note: Dogs are not permitted on the trail or in the preserve.
