A fun ride from Paradise Harley-Davidson through Vernonia out over Hwy 43 to Hwy 30 and across the Columbia on the Westport Ferry. Then we will have a backhills ride through the mountains of southwestern Washington to the city of Vader for late lunch.
Suggest you bring a snack of pick one up at the gas stop in Vernonia. This ride is time sensitive as the ferry only runs at the top of the hour.
We are going east through the Columbia River Gorge, then north through Goldendale to Yakima, stopping at Apple State Harley-Davidson. Continuing on to Packwood where we will stay at Packwood Inn; they have 12 rooms now on hold for us for July 26th, call 360-494-5500. The return trip will be an easy ride west along Hwy 12 turning south at I-5 (avoiding the freeway), headed home to Paradise Harley-Davidson. Links to maps and GPX files are below.
It’ll be a great day of riding in scenic Oregon and scenic Washington with the pleasure of getting a close look at two mountains; Mount Hood and Mount Adams! We’re taking a longer route this year and will be going over the top of Mount Hood then down Hwy 35 into Hood River then across the Hood River Bridge (the Chapter will pay for the tolls), We'll head east on Highway 14 to Lyle where we'll go up the Klickitat Canyon to the metropolis of Glenwood.
