Ruckel Ridge Trail in Oregon
This trail is located in Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge, and is 9.6 miles round-trip. Hikers often report that the first 4.5 miles are extremely steep and draining. This trail is not recommended for beginners and it is suggested that you make sure you are in satisfactory shape before attempting this hike.
Hikers also report that parts of the Ruckel Ridge Trail consist of rocky terrain, requiring your wholehearted attention due to how easy it is to slip and fall off the path. While the trail is highly elevated and difficult in nature, the scenic view it provides certainly is worth the effort. This trail is best with a companion who is familiar with the terrain, especially in the winter.
