Hikes for viewing the spectacular vistas of Coyote Wall and "the Sleeper" in the Columbia River Gorge.

This was a hike I’d come across sometime in the doldrums of fall or winter, idly perusing google maps for points of interest.

There have been three stand-out hikes in the last two months. The common thread be the complete, 360° view in every direction.

I went back and hiked out as far as I could into the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness with my cumbersome sack of oil painting gear.

I just want to share more about some of the amazing places I’ve experienced and how they inspire me to create.
