Tomlike Mountain and Chinidere Mountain are peaks on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge in the Mark O Hatfield Wilderness. Tomlike Mountain (4,555 ft) features a spectacular open ridgeline walk to it summit. Chinidere Mountain (4,673 ft) offers a 360° view of the surrounding area including Mt Hood, Mt Adams, and Rainier.
We will be driving through the central Apple Orchard district of the Hood River valley, so a stop at an orchard for some fresh picked fruit is quite possible.
