Cougar Trails Loop Hike

Overview

Washington State University's Vancouver Campus sits on the grassy hillside of Mt. Vista, offering views to Gorge prominences such as Silver Star Mountain as well as farther to Mount Hood . The trail system here, named after the university's mascot, includes the forest corridor along Mill Creek, a tributary of Salmon Creek, and a barn at the Heritage Garden. The trails are best hiked on a Sunday, when there is little activity on campus. The description below takes you on a short loop: a longer walk of 4 - 5 miles is possible in less natural environments (see the WSU Cougar Trails map ).
