Almost every one of the last 30 years, two Columbia River Gorge "nobles" have hiked to Devil's Rest for the sole purpose of placing a Halloween pumpkin at the site. This year was not an exception, and I was excited to join them in their annual pilgrimage to this hallowed summit.
A cold day, it was, at 2400 feet - 38 degrees during lunch and wearing almost everything in my backpack - the celebrated pumpkin was placed high on a tree under the Devil's Rest sign. Another Halloween has now been graced by this ritual atop a frequented, landmark hike.
