Warrior Rock Lighthouse, Sauvie Island
About this event
This is a hike along the Columbia River on the west end of Sauvie Island. The trail leads to a lighthouse on a small rock point. There is a nice sandy beach ideal for a lunch stop. The trail can be muddy in spots so be sure to bring appropriate foot gear. This hike is a known birding opportunity so you could bring along your binoculars. Last year we saw cranes and snow geese from the car on our way to the trailhead. Sometimes large ocean ships can go by on the river, an added treat. There is a parking fee of $10 per vehicle for this trailhead. The permit can be purchased at the store on the island.
