Trail Journal: 5 PNW Hikes Worth a Cup of Coffee

Some trails leave you breathless from the climb. Others leave you quiet from the view. And the best ones? They deserve a cup of coffee at the end — or halfway up if you pack a thermos.

Here are five Pacific Northwest trails where Cascade Pine coffee belongs in your pack:

1. Banks–Vernonia State Trail (Oregon)

A converted rail line with big forest energy and trestle bridges that feel like they were made for slow mornings. Easy miles, steady shade, and perfect for sipping a medium roast while you watch the light shift through the pines.

2. Beacon Rock (Washington)

Switchbacks all the way up a giant basalt rock in the Columbia River Gorge. The climb is short but steep, and the payoff is pure panorama. Nothing beats catching your breath at the top with a hot cup in hand, river winding below you.

3. Cape Perpetua (Oregon Coast)

High above the Pacific, with views that roll forever. Pour a cup, lean against the rail, and watch the ocean breathe against the rocks. On stormy days, it feels like the whole coast is alive.

4. Multnomah Falls Trail (Oregon)

Tourists crowd the base, but hike the switchbacks and the crowds thin out. At the upper viewpoint, mist hits your face, and a thermos pour tastes like reward. This is Cascadia in a cup — bold, wild, and grounding.

5. Vista House – Historic Columbia River Highway (Oregon)

It’s not a hard hike, but the views are unmatched. Standing above the Gorge with a mug of Generations Blend feels like you’re part of every story the river’s ever carried.

Why Coffee Belongs Here

Coffee isn’t just caffeine. It’s a pause. It’s a way of saying, this view is worth sitting with. Whether you brew at the trailhead or haul a pour-over setup to the top, the cup becomes part of the story.

That’s what Cascade Pine is about.
