When doubt watch for flags from the Hood River Bridge to 2003 PAC. Note: If you're arriving from the east, along I-84 East, consider crossing over to Washington in Biggs or The Dalles. The bridge in Hood River (although convenient and safe) is quite narrow and even some of our most well-travelled endurance riders claim to get white knuckles crossing the bridge when, say, a logging truck is coming from the other direction. Not to mention the fact that Hood River charges 75-cents (for every two axels) for this hair-raising experience. Crossing in The Dalles and Biggs is free. After that just continue west on Highway 14 until the Alt. Highway 141 intersection (just west of the Hood River bridge in Bingen). Don't be fooled by taking the Highway 141 turn in Bingen to White Salmon (it will get you to Trout Lake too but that's the long, slow route, but then it does swing you by a Thriftway grocery store). |
