Here's a perfect spot to take a break, park your bike, and walk up the trail for an excellent view of both Lower and Upper Multnomah Falls.

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.

Mt Defiance Trailhead is another hop off point to see a waterfall. Here bikers can walk their bike 200 feet south to see Hole in the Wall Falls, or Lancaster Falls just a little bit east from Hole in the Wall. The trail is named after Mt Defiance, which at 4,960 feet tall, is the highest point in the Columbia Gorge.

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.

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.

The Dalles Bridge is easy to ride across. Before the bridge was built, as early as 1854, there was a ferry service going over the Colombia River. 10 years later, bridge planning began. It did take another 85 years after the planning began for the Dalles Bridge to finally finish its construction.

The Wyeth State Park area has restrooms, a picnic area, and a campground with 13 individual sites, three group sites, and a 24-hour camp host. This is also the trailhead for the Wyeth Trail, which soon splits into the Gorge Trail.
