Welcome!

The Chinook Trail Association is a citizen organization dedicated to the development of a 300-mile recreational loop trail loop encircling the Columbia River Gorge.

The Chinook trail will connect with existing trails such as the Pacific Crest Trail and communities in the Columbia River Gorge area.

We invite you to join us in this vision for the future.
 
 
CTA Accomplishments
 
Little Beacon Rock Trail
The 1,000-foot, barrier-free Little Beacon Rock Trail extends from the Hadley Monument to the newly constructed Beacon Rock Overlook in Beacon Rock State Park. This Chinook Trail Association project was funded a National Recreational Trails Program (NRTP) grant administered by the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC) and was completed in 2002. Washington State Parks awarded Project Coordinator Don Cannard with an "Outstanding Volunteer Award for 2001" for his work on the project.
 
Hardy Creek Connector Trail
A new 3,000-foot backcountry trail connecting the Hamilton Mountain Trail with the Hardy Creek Trail is now open. The trail is located a short distance west from the back saddle of Hamilton Mountain, beginning at the first road switchback. The Hardy Creek Connector Trail is about equal distance to walking on the road below the basalt rubble when traveling from Hamilton Mountain to the Hardy Creek Trail. It adds a more pleasant hike through a forested area and along Hardy Creek on the fire lane to the upper Hardy Creek Trailhead and enables the users (hikers only) to avoid walking along the upper road on a hot day exposed to the heat and sun reflecting from the basalt. Trail layout and construction began in late 1998 and work was completed in July 2002.
The trail was built by Chinook Trail volunteers, the Summer American Hiker week-long work party, Education Service District 112 Youth Employment and the Wyeth Forest Camp Community Service crews. At various times the Forest Camp crews were under the supervision of Joe Taylor, Duggan Bates, and Jack Disset. CTA founder Don Cannard was construction coordinator.
