Overview
Work began in the mid 1970s to link up low level existing or abandoned trails in the western Columbia River Gorge between Multnomah Falls and Wyeth . However, the planners decided that the Angels Rest Trail was a worthy western section, given its outstanding features, and that trail now doubles as part of the Gorge Trail #400. In fact, much of the route already existed, with a few new connector sections added, the longest being between Herman Creek and Wyeth . This was also the last section to be completed, in the early 1990s. One part of the Gorge Trail has also disappeared since construction: the first mile of the route leading out of Dodson to join the Nesmith Point Trail was swept away in massive debris washouts during the February 1996 pineapple express weather event, thus leaving 2 1/4 miles of road between trail sections.
