Top Spur Trail

By Kelsey Samsel | Hiking

If you love wildflowers and want to see stunning views of the Columbia River Gorge, hop in your car and head out to Mosier Plateau. About eight miles past Hood River, Mosier may be small, but it is surrounded by beauty.

The best time to see wildflowers is from March through May with mid-April being the peak viewing time. Check out our post from when we hiked the whole thing!
