The best, early season easy wildflower hike in the Columbia Gorge is the hike from Memaloose Overlook to Marsh Hill. It's a 3 mile roundtrip hike with very little elevation gain. We have been doing this hike every year for many, many years... hence "again" in the title. The hike is best done from mid April to the first week in May. If you would like more information on Memaloose Island read Steven Michael's outstanding piece on the history of the island.
