The Ruckel Creek Trail offers maternity photography tremendous views of the Columbia Gorge, including Table Mountain on the Washington side, Wauna Point to the west, and Indian Mountain, Tanner Butte, and the top portion of Mount Hood to the south. It also leads to some meadows that are blanketed with a spectacular display of wildflowers in late April through mid-May. However, maternity photography this trail is not for the faint of foot... most of it is unrelentingly steep, especially a 15-switchback section which can be quite disheartening. In addition to the Gorge views and the wildflower meadows, Ruckel Creek also features several beautiful (and little-known) waterfalls. These are accessible only by very demanding bushwhacks, which are particularly strenuous when combined with the steep trail.
