Columbia Gorge drive in OR and WA - 4/19/06

This drive was absolutely fantastic. We drove through the Columbia Gorge, along the Columbia River. We then crossed over the Biggs Rapid Bridge and took 97 into Washington. We passed through the Klickitat Valley and at Goldendale, WA, headed east on 142 through Glenwood, WA, Trout Lake, WA, BZ Corners, WA, WA, White Salmon, WA and into Bingen, WA. At Bingen, WA we headed west along 14 which paralled the Columbia River on the Washington side. We took the Bridge of the Gods back over the Columbia River into Cascade Locks, OR and then headed on home.

Old bridge at Oneonta Gorge. At the end of the bridge used to be the opening of the Oneonta Tunnel. The tunnel was filled with debris during the late 1940s when falling rock posed safety problems and the road was rerouted.
