Overview
NOTICE: This trail is closed until further notice because of damage from the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire. Please check the list of Columbia Gorge trail closures before you plan for a hike. From the Tooth Rock Trailhead, start by walking east on the paved Historic Columbia River Highway Trail. After 2/10 of a mile, you'll come to a junction with a trail going up to the right marked by a sign that says "Tanner Butte Trail." Start up the hill for another 4/10 of a mile until the trail splits. Follow the trail to the right. At this junction is a sign marked "Trail 400/Wauna Pt/Tanner Butte Tr." Head up this steep trail for roughly 100 feet to Tanner Creek Road. This is a 4-way junction. Look for a sign that says "Gorge Trail 400" with arrows pointing left and right. Follow the trail (which is as wide as a road and goes uphill) to the right. When this road splits, bear left (the road on the right will have two signs marking it trail #400 and 034). After that, you will cross several service roads. Continue straight on the road you're on (Road 777) until you reach the old Tanner Butte Trail #401 trailhead. Stay on the road until you reach the its end. Here, you'll find a trailhead for Tanner Creek Trail #431. The trail heads farther up the creek valley. 0.3 miles from this inland trailhead you'll find a wilderness boundary, and just a bit farther, you'll come to a junction with the Tanner Cutoff Trail #448. Continue southward on the Tanner Creek Trail, passed a junction with Moffett Creek Trail #430. You're near the end now, as Trail #431 soon ends in a large grove of trees near a spring at the Tanner Creek Campsite. If you're day hiking, it's time to get started back, but if you're backpacking you can set up camp and relax for a while. The Tooth Rock Trailhead creates the easiest and shortest version of this hike, but overnight parking is not allowed. Also, Tooth Rock Trailhead has a higher incidence of car prowling than other nearby trailheads. You can access this hike from the Wahclella Falls Trailhead by hiking a
