The Gorge in the PNW. 15 miles overnight hike ✨✨✌️

2025/1/11 Edited to

The Gorge in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) offers stunning landscapes, making it perfect for a 15-mile overnight hike. It's important to protect the environment during your hike by following the Leave No Trace principles. This means packing out all litter, including food debris such as egg shells. The hike may include challenging terrains, so make sure to wear proper footwear and educate yourself about local flora such as Poison Oak and Sumac that can pose threats to allergic hikers. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the trail by using resources like maps and hiking apps. For your safety, research campgrounds in advance and ensure that you adhere to camping regulations in the area. If you're planning to hike in warmer months, carry sufficient water, as rivers and streams may have low water levels. The iconic Punch Bowl Falls and Metlako Falls are highlights along the hike that you won't want to miss, so plan rest stops at these scenic points. Overall, this hike is not only a test of endurance but a chance to connect with the breathtaking nature of the PNW.
