Gorge bike, walking trail now open
PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Department of Transportation has opened a stretch of the state trail in the Columbia Gorge that will allow bicyclists and hikers to make the 34 miles from Troutdale to Cascade Locks without braving traffic on Interstate 84.
The 1.6-mile segment is part of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, an effort to reuse roadway completed in 1922 as America's first scenic highway but largely abandoned or demolished when the interstate highway system was built.
