Tag: Columbia River Gorge

On this road trip to the East side of the Columbia River Gorge was to see some new places and visit to old spots and see how they have changed. Visiting several places on a wonder of the East side of the Columbia River Gorge. Lori, Jeanette, Sylvie and my self started off at the new Mitchell Point Tunnel to experience the wind tunnel effect it can have. Next was lower trail at Catherine Creek to see the late season flowers. We then drove through the Schreiner Wildlife Farm a new place for Sylvia. The initial plan was to do a short hike at Dallas Mt. Ranch but we found the big flower show was over so we moved on to see the petroglyph gallery, some then else new for Sylvia. Finally some thing new for me we did a wine tasting at Sunshine Mill. We finished up with lunch at the Bargeway Pub where I had a wonderful coco stout from Sunriver Brewery.

We missed a turn and ended up wandering to places in the Columbia River Gorge. Its good to be flexible and to have a good knowledge of the Gorge. So first visit was to the new tunnel at Michel Point. Then we crossed the river at Hood River. Then stopped in at Spring Creek Fish hatcher to see the little fishies. Then off to see the Camas in bloom at a lesser known spot. Then on to Whistle Punk trail. We finished up at Backwoods Brewers for lunch.
