You can reach the main outcropping of Picnic Rock via a catwalk from a bouldery viewpoint. Just across from you is the stand-alone Newton Pinnacle. Views extend over Hood River Meadows and nearby ridges from Lookout Mountain to Gunsight Butte and Bonney Butte . Look for nearby Elk Mountain , the burned slopes of Bluegrass Ridge as well as across the deep Clark Creek canyon to Lamberson Butte on Gnarl Ridge and the southeast slopes of Mount Hood . On the clearest of days, you may be able to make out the Three Sisters beyond Mount Jefferson and perhaps even Diamond Peak .
