About the Area
Located approximately 30 minutes east of Portland, Rooster Rock is a distinctive pinnacle that towers 200’ above the Columbia River Gorge. The state park is a favorite destination for outdoor adventurers seeking to hike, climb, wind surf, kite board and play along the shores of the Columbia River. The alpine-styled South Face of Rooster Rock is an excellent site to be introduced to multi-pitch climbing and as a training ground for future climbs throughout the Cascade Range. Rooster Rock affords climbers with amazing views of the Gorge, Beacon Rock, and an assortment of kite surfers zipping across the river hundreds of feet below.
