Cape Horn Conservancy is an all volunteer non-profit dedicated to providing thoughtful stewardship of this trail and surrounding public lands in the Washougal to Stevenson corridor. We work closely with the United States Forest Service (USFS), Washington Trails Association (WTA), and Friends of the Columbia Gorge (FOCG) to maintain and improve the existing trail and to plan for its eventual integration into a Washougal to Stevenson trail system. We have a vision of this trail as a world-class hiking destination, a jewel of the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area trail system.  Please join us in this effort.

Cape Horn Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

EARTH DAY TRAILHEAD TREE PLANTING - Saturday, April 20: Underwood Conservation District and Cape Horn Conservancy are sponsoring an Earth Day tree planting event at the Cape Horn Trailhead parking area from 9am-noon.  Bring warm clothes and gloves, UCD will provide light refreshments and planting tools and Cape Horn Conservancy will provide trees and shrubs to be planted.

The open spaces to the southwest of the Nancy Russell Overlook are undergoing a dramatic transformation. 12 acres of former hayfield will soon host an Oregon White Oak ecosystem.  It is a Department of Transportation project to mitigate impacts from straightening SR14 near Mt. Pleasant.

FEBRUARY 1:  THE LOWER TRAIL IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC through July 15.  The entire upper trail remains open year round.
