Twin Tunnels Segment of Columbia River Highway State Trail, Hood River, Oregon
View Original Description
The Twin Tunnels Segment of Columbia River Highway State Trail is a 4.5-mile segment connects Hood River and Mosier, with trailheads and parking at either end. This popular section features views of the river below and a walk or ride through the carefully restored Mosier Twin Tunnels. The two tunnels were filled with rock when I-84 opened, but fortunately survived.
From an accessible parking area at the Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead (pictured in the Accessibility tab below) the trail travels over rolling hills shaded by a forest of fir trees, passing several viewpoints on the way to the tunnel. As you emerge on the east end of the tunnel, notice the change in landscape: the final mile winds through semi-arid terrain dotted with ponderosa pines to its end at Mark O. Hatfield East Trailhead.
Dogs are allowed on the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, but must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times.
