Overview
Visible from most any high spot in the Columbia River Gorge , Tanner Butte is a familiar landmark for hikers. However, this former fire lookout remains one the least visited summits in the area. This is mainly due to the difficulty of the hike—it is a tough one! Hikers have a minimum 18 mile round trip out-and-back coming from Wahclella Falls Trailhead . Many will choose to make a backpack loop out of this by continuing the journey down the valley and back out the Eagle Creek gorge (see Tanner-Eagle Traverse Hike for more information). Tanner Creek Road used to provide closer access, but misuse (illegal dumping, target shooting, etc) has forced the forest service to close it.
