About The Two Routes
Beautiful, stunning, and spectacular is the best way to describe the views along the route of this breathtaking ride. Enjoy the beauty of the Columbia River Gorge in the best way possible – by bicycle. Join us as we ride from the beautiful community of Cascade Locks to the panoramic Crown Point during Sternwheeler Days.
A 15 mile Family Ride option & a 50 mile Challenge Ride option, which both start and end at Cascade Locks – Marine Park. Along the 50 mile Challenge route, you will be in the midst of the most gorgeous section of roadway in Oregon, passing by notable falls such as Horsetail Falls, Oneonta Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Latourell Falls, and Multnomah Falls. After the climb up to Crown Point, you’ll be able to recharge and soak in the views before returning down the Historic Highway back to Cascade Locks.
This 15-mile Family Ride route begins along the scenic Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. The Trail is closed to all motorized vehicles. On the scenic trail riders will pass by Bonneville Dam and Eagle Creek. At Bonneville Dam, be prepared for an extended family ride section in the Fish Hatchery and a rest area with beautiful views of the Bonneville Dam. Here you will rest and soak in the sun before returning to Cascade Locks for lunch at Marine Park.
Special Thanks To The Ride Sponsors!

Bikeability Tour Offers New Facilities
Thanks to our visitors from South Africa this week who requested the Portland Bikeability Tour. Active transportation is our passion around here and we enjoy sharing some of Portland’s solutions with friends from around the world. Exploring our neighborhood green-ways is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. We had an urban planner visiting who wanted to see the latest infrastructure and we just so happen to have a new cycle specific signal treatment at a dangerous intersections for right turns adjacent to a freeway on ramp. phew! We also took a look at the traffic calming storm-water management swales on SE Ankeney St. and enjoyed the blooming craftsman neighborhoods. Lots of rentals this weekend with the sunny weather and exiting tours coming up this week including another Food Cart Bike Tour the “Tastes of Portland Tour“ – one of my favorites.
