This section of the Columbia Historic Highway Trail is non-motorized and perfect for family trips. The view is breathtaking. However, also very hilly. Perfectly asphalted!

What to expect on Twin Tunnels Trail – Panorama Point loop from Hood River
Expect a journey through varied landscapes, from the paved, gentle grades of the historic Twin Tunnels, with their unique window views of the Columbia River, to more challenging sections winding through dense forests and open areas with orchards. You'll encounter dramatic basalt formations and enjoy expansive vistas of the Gorge. While the Twin Tunnels segment itself is accessible, the full 30.7-mile loop demands very good fitness due to significant elevation changes and challenging climbs, making it ideal for confident gravel bikers.
Planning your visit
Given the 'difficult' rating and significant distance, plan your ride to allow ample time, especially if you want to stop and enjoy the numerous viewpoints. The route starts from Hood River, and while specific parking details aren't provided, arriving early is always a good strategy for popular routes.
