We rode from the Senator Mark Hatfield parking in Mosier west toward Hood River. 1st 1.8 miles gradual uphill. Fun to go thru the tunnels. Stunning views. Fun to be so far above the river. Then downhill towards Hood River. Total one way 4.8 miles.
We started in Parking lot#3. Glad to have the traillink map-it was fun cruising around all the loops - so much better than a straight path. Every section was different. Beautiful scenery - saw a big eagle nest with Mama in it/a huge lilypad pond. We did 10miles but this could easily be at least a 20mile trail. Just go in reverse and mixup the loops. Totally enjoyable and I would use this all the time if I lived close to it.
This trail is in three parts. I have not done the western portion that is on the old Columbia River Hwy. The center portion between Wyeth and Viento State Park where we camped. Be warned, train right next to the campground running throughout the night. This section of the paths has stunning views but does parallel the hwy at many points throughout. Still worth the ride, enjoy the quiet when the trail meanders back into the woods. Trail shows that it starts at Viento but it has been extended 1.2 miles further East. Riding from Viento West you will encounter several waterfalls and stunning views. The furthest East portion between Hood River and Mousier is quiet and peaceful. Signs of recent fire but nothing bad. Enjoy! Loralee
My wife and I were concerned about the reviews that we read about this trail regarding the pavement being in poor shape.
We rode from Banks to the State Park (cannot remember the name of it). The state park is about 10 miles into the trail from Banks.
Most of the trail was in decent shape. There are roots that have elevated the pavement to make bumps, but they are mostly avoidable.
There is one section where the trail is in really rough shape. It was even bumpy on a mountain bike. But still very rideable.
We did see several people on thin tired road bikes. So it does not scare everyone away.
I personally would not ride it on a road bike.
From mile 5 to 10 it is a steady up hill grade. We were able to average 6 mph on this section without a lot of effort.
Coming back was very fast. I hit 21 mph at one point.
Overall it was an enjoyable ride. I would ride this trail again if I was in this area again.
Nice connection between Kaiser Station and down by Home Depot. There’s a couple of cracks that you need to be careful of other than that. Great ride.
Wonderful ride in the park. Safe, green, quiet, and a bit scenic.
We camped at the county fairgrounds in Rickreall and rode into Monmouth to visit college haunts. An enjoyable day.
This well maintained path from nowhere to nowhere seemed like a commuters pathway. It is not scenic and follows the high voltage power lines mostly. A couple of parks along the way and two LARGE homeless camps.
Overall this is a very nice but in need of better maintenance. I echo those that would love a new surface, but fully understand the challenge of finding funding. I rode the Vernonia to Stubb Steward state park section the other day. While some efforts have been made to improve the bridge approaches several still need additional work. And efforts to demarcate other trail hazards (dips, root bumps etc) should be repainted to highlight them for safety’s sake. Due to the shade/sun nature of the trail for much of its length old eyes don’t adjust as quickly as the once did and the faded paint warning are not as affective as they were when first new installed
I’ve trained on this paved trail for years! It’s well maintained, safe, and doesn’t have crazy elevation. The pedestrian 205 bridge is the most challenging uphill, but it’s also good elevation practice without taking up too much of the path. Intersections are hit or miss, but the gaps in between are still good stretches of trail. A great urban trail if you live around here.
Came to do a long run. Couldn’t finish because the hills are so intense. But, it’s a beautiful trail and well maintained!
