HCRH State Trail: Hood River to Mosier
The Twin Tunnels segment of the Columbia River Highway State Trail, from Hood River to Mosier, was recently re-opened after being down for repair. It’s in perfect condition for biking, the entire run is freshly paved blacktop. There’s a span just prior to the tunnels, and another just after, that descend for quite a stretch. So, depending on your perspective, you may have more ‘fun’ on the way out than the way back. The entire run also had the smell of waking up in the morning to a smoldering campfire. As you can see in one of the pics below, this was an area recently hit by wildfires - so I guess the smell was still lingering from that event. Great little trail, you’ll have to plunk down $3 as it’s a day-use area.
