In the evening, I strolled Hood River’s vibrant downtown, grabbed a couple of street tacos, had a beer at Full Sail Brewery, and finished off the day with some Mike’s Ice Cream while watching the sun set behind the gorge. It was a perfect day from dawn to dusk.
By the time I hit the outskirts of The Dalles and turned onto the car-free Riverfront Trail, the wind had grown stronger. After a quick refueling stop, I eagerly turned around for the windswept pedal back to the start.
The route continued on Old Highway 30 through the quaint village of Mosier, complete with an ale house, vintage diner, antique store and an old cherry packing facility that looked perfectly preserved in time. From Mosier, the road climbed through numerous orchards and lush fields loaded with grape vines and blooming flowers.
The ride started with a beautiful switchback climb that was accented by bright white painted wooden guardrails. Next came passage through the restored tunnels that used to carry vehicle traffic below a volcanic cliff.
