Carpool from McLaughlin Middle School parking lot at 8 am to carpool or meet at Trailhead at 9:30 am. Please try to coordinate rides. Plan to meet at the trailhead at 9:30 AM.
Take the last exit out of Hood River , #64, go right and go about a mile to Old Columbia Hwy, deadends at parking lot for Senator Mark O Hatfield West Trailhead. There is a parking fee for the lot, maybe 5 dollars. This is about a 65 mile drive from Vancouver.
We ride East through the Mosier tunnels to Mosier, (5 miles), to Rowena Lookout on the Historic Columbia River Hwy, (6 miles), to Cousins Country Inn, (10 miles), lunch at the restaurant at the West End of the Dalles. Share a huge cinnamon roll! Bring money!
Beautiful views! Hikers, bikers and rollerbladers are the only users in the Mosier tunnels and then a very rural 2 lane highway to the Dalles.
A headlamp is recommended for the tunnels but they have some light coming in the sides so it's not pitch black. If you have never ridden the tunnels or the Historic Columbia River Hwy, this ride is for you! And you get to experience the pig and cow and John Deere tractor at Cousins restaurant.
