Many hikers start Tanner Butte Trail #401 from the Columbia River Gorge, at the Wahclella Falls or Eagle Creek trailhead in the national scenic area. From either one, the route makes its way into the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness.
Like many trails in this corner of the forest, it crosses ground shared by Mt. Hood National Forest and the Columbia River Gorge, so a single trip can take you through both. Having two trailheads to choose from also gives you some flexibility when planning your route.
