This is a great climb on a quiet, lightly trafficked road to the summit of Larch Mountain. Take a jacket for the long descent as it can get cold on the way down even on a warm day!

The Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail consists of a few sections of path connected via parks and city streets. This section is a continuous paved path with access to a number of other trails branching off from the main trail once entering Viento State Park and Starvation Creek State Park.

Tollbridge Park is located just a few yards from the famous Bridge of the Gods that spans over the Columbia River to connect the states of Oregon and Washington. There are restrooms and lots of shade if you want to take a break here.

Larch Mountain in Oregon is a picturesque peak in the Cascade Range. Dense forests cloak its slopes, featuring a mix of evergreen trees and western hemlock. At the top you will find a parking lot with nearby picnic areas, from where you can start your hike along one of the trails.

Starvation Creek State Park can be easily overlooked by tourists. It is situated at the base of the steep walls of the Columbia Gorge. Starvation Creek State Park's most popular spot is only 100 feet north from the staircase; it's called Starvation Creek Waterfall; and from the trailhead, it's at the end of a boardwalk, 50 feet from the parking area. Picnic tables feature views of the falls; it's a great place to cool down on a hot day and a perfect spot to eat a packed lunch.

Oregon has a lot of concrete arch bridges, and many are like this one named Tucker Bridge. They were designed by engineer Conde McCullough, who focused on the aesthetics of bridge design. Tucker Bridge has not been changed much over the years and still has its original railings.

Wah Gwin Gwin Falls is also known as Lullaby Falls, or in the Native language, the Place of Rushing Waters. It is technically located on the grounds of the Columbia Gorge Hotel and is easy to find just off exit 62. It has a height of 207 feet and flows into the Colombia River gorge.

About 50 feet off the highway, the pavement takes riders to an overlook of the Memaloose Hills, called the Memaloose Lookout. Memaloose Overlook has a viewpoint of Memaloose Island and is a great photo opportunity, especially on a clear day.
