Historic Columbia River Highway
Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities

You can bike fairly safely on the byway because of the relatively low volume of automobiles. There are plenty of trails around the byway on which you can bike. Most notably, portions of the byway that were abandoned during the construction of I-84 are being restored as multi-use trails. The Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail is open between Moffett Creek and Cascade Locks, and between Hood River and Mosier (including the Mosier Twin Tunnels).

Numerous other trailheads are located along the byway as well. These trails have a good range of length and difficulty, ranging from flat, paved trails, to high mountain trails. A bike map of the Columbia River Gorge, including the Historic Columbia River Highway and the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, is now available from the Oregon DOT. Contact the Oregon Department of Transportation for more information.
