Description
Munra Point is an exposed basalt knob at the junction of three spiny ridges just west of Tanner Creek. Visible from I-84 as a green shark's fin of ridge sticking up out of the trees, the summit offers a spectactular and exposed 360 degree view up and down the Columbia River Gorge and is reached via a steep and scrambly non-maintained trail.
Munra Point is accessible year round, but is safest in dry weather. Wildflowers are present in the spring, including Yellow Fawn Lillies, Grass Widows, Gold Stars, and Larkspurs.
