Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail (Twin Tunnels Segment)

The former Columbia River Highway is now a dedicated, paved multi-use path that runs just above the Columbia River for 4.5 miles between Mount Hood and Mosier. It’s a scenic, mainly wooded trail, with some views of the Coumbia River and the surrounding hills. Note this is the Twin Tunnels segment of three disconnected paved paths that add up to 12 miles along stretches of historic Highway 30.

The Senator Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead is 1.5 miles east of downtown. One could run along Old Columbia River Dr. to get to the trail, though there’s no sidewalk/shoulder. From the trailhead, head east for up to 4.5 miles to the Senator Mark O. Hatfield East Trailhead at Rock Creek Rd. in Mosier. It’s rolling hills, with a 200 foot climb between miles 2.2-2.7. Toward the eastern end, don’t miss running through the Mosier Twin Tunnels!
