Travels in America: The Columbia River Corridor

We have visited the Pacific Crest Trail in Manning Provincial Park and have walked a few km of it.  In OR, we had the opportunity to walk a few more kms on our hike to Dry Falls (previous post).  I found this sign interesting when we walked 

into Cascade Locks (parked our camper van there) out to Dry Falls and back.  Also had great burgers at the local pub with a view of the Bridge of the Gods over the Columbia.   This sign is mile 2155 if you are walking north to Canada.  

I always enjoy a stay at Deschutes State Park along the Columbia.  We noticed that the bike trail along the I-84 is pretty much complete from Cascade Locks to Hood River.  We did the section from Hood River for 9 miles out to the end of the bike/hike section.  Then we biked on the road (sometimes adjacent to the I-84) to the town of Mosier and beyond.  Very pretty at that particular time and there are spectacular views of the Columbia Valley and the many wind towers that dominate the WA side of the corridor.  Here's a picture of the park and valley  at Deschutes State Park.
