Overview
The Mount Defiance Hike is well-known as the most difficult hike in the Gorge. The approach normally considered, however, is the Mount Defiance Trail starting at the Starvation Creek Rest Area on the shore of the Columbia River. This hike starts at the other end of the trail, with less than a quarter of the elevation gain. The trailhead is on Dead Point Road (FR 2820), formerly known as Wahtum Lake Road. You can also combine this hike with several other short hikes in the area, such as the Bear Lake Hike or the one-mile trip to North Lake .
