Overview
The Elevator Shaft is one of great challenges in the Columbia River Gorge . Part trail, part talus slope, and all switchbacks, this steep section of an abandoned route climbs 1,200 feet in a mile. Although forgotten by many book authors and no longer maintained by the United States Forest Service, locals and old salts know it well (some by its former name, "The Fire Escape"). After hiking it, you'll understand the appropriateness of both names.
