This is Gimli Ridge. A small track can also be seen winding along the base of the peak… take this small trail for roughly 45 minutes and you will find yourself on Gimli Ridge, with commanding views of Mulvey Basin and Asgard Peak.

Rowena Plateau – The Dalles, Oregon
From the Rowena Crest Trailhead, cross the fence stile to enter the plateau… the trail [slopes downhill and] curves before gradually winding back in a north–northwest direction; it will continue this trajectory until you turn around.

On your return trip, [check] out one of the many side trails that jet off to the east [to see some] amazing views of the Columbia River Gorge!
