Description Suggest change

This is a pretty low trafficked area since it is so far from the main parking lot, but is full of great routes and good views of the Columbia River.

Getting There Suggest change

The best approach is from the west end of the mesa, starting from the small parking area that is 1/2 mile down road, headed west toward river from the main camping and parking lot.

Follow the dirt road that leads into Echo Basin. Then take the faint trail that leads up to the west end toe of the mesa on the left. Make a right when reaching the cliff face and you are at Riverview Point West.
