Description

The first viewpoint on the Wygant Peak Hike is the Lower Wygant Viewpoint, located on top of an 80-foot bluff directly above I-84. The view is wide and sweeping, from Hood River area in the east to Table Mountain in the west. There is plenty of space to roam around on the bluff and it would be an ideal lunch spot. Watch for poison oak!
