McCall Point, The Dalles OR

• 5-star hike • 4 mile out-and-back • Moderate | Gain 1,010 feet • The Dalles, OR | Oregon . Views beside the trail near Rowena Crest Overlook. The Columbia River Gorge cuts through the volcanic Cascade Range, exposing layers of basalt laid down by massive lava flows from Eastern Oregon millions of years ago. Following a geologic fault line, the Gorge features a stark asymmetry. The Oregon side to the south boasts near-vertical basalt walls, while the Washington side to the north presents a more sloping, stepped profile. This distinct geological character is on full display from the McCall Point Trail. The hike to the summit begins adjacent to the Rowena Crest Overlook. Reached by a short paved road, this viewpoint provides sweeping eastward views over the Gorge before you even take a single step on the trail. Roadside parking at the overlook is free.
