The Triple Falls hike from Oneonta Gorge is scenic, great for beginners, and doesn't have the big crowds that many other Columbia Gorge hikes have. The hike winds up above Oneonta Gorge, and you can look down on the raging creek as you hike on the trail above it. The Triple Falls hike can get crowded, but it's no where near as crowded Multnomah Falls or Eagle Creek. And you get to see three waterfalls along the way!

When planning, always check the park website and social media to make sure the trails are open. Similarly, check the weather and road conditions.

Triple Falls, at the end of the hike, is great place for a picnic or snack.
Getting to the Triple Falls Hike
Use this trailhead address: Oneonta Trailhead, Hood River County, OR, 97031, USA.
Parking is free. If the trailhead lot is full, there's additional parking east of the trailhead by the Oneonta Tunnel, a short walk away.
Gear for the Hike
This isn't a long hike but it can get muddy and slippery. I do recommend basic hiking gear and hiking boots. Trekking poles will help with any slippery or muddy sections.
