Taking the advice of one of our forum regulars I rode the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge today. I picked up Hwy 14 above Portland and followed it all the way to The Dalles before turning South on Hwy 197. Once I cleared the bridge I immediately turned back toward Portland, West, and rode Hwy 30 to the Discovery Center where I took the Museum photos below. I again followed a forum contributor's advice and rode Hwy 30 from The Dalles to Hood River. What a spectacular view as this stretch of Hwy 30 climbs the mountain range above the gorge and parallels Interstate 84.
15-25 mph curves were the norm. I had to fight the temptation to look at the breath taking scenery as I attacked each set of twisties for fear of running off cliff. Thanks to all for a great ride of about 250 miles on a beautiful day.
