TWIN TUNNELS
The Senator Mark Hatfield West Trail, aka Twin Tunnels Trail, is a 5-mile exclusive bike/pedestrian pathway connecting Hood River and Mosier on the Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH)
Trail begins at Hatfield Visitor Center in Hood River	Old stone guardrails were retained . . .
. . . and new viewpoints constructed
A new "rock catchment" canopy was built next to the Twin Tunnels to catch falling rocks
Grand Gorge vistas from the trail, 500' to 800' above the river
Basalt cliffs and railroad across the river	The tunnels were totally reconstructed
Port-hole inside the tunnel	Inside the back-to-back tunnel, thus the name Twin Tunnels
One of several new overlooks along the trail
Bike path ends in Mosier but you can keep biking for another 17 miles to The Dalles on the HCRH (Hwy 30)
They serve Umpqua ice cream at this diner in Mosier	A classic teardrop on the HCRH
