Route Information

#0 - 7-mile Hill
This route mirrors the first leg of the 2011 RAO route to The Dalles. Riders enjoy the old scenic highway and trail riding to Mosier.

Then it's a 7-mile climb, ~ mile 7 to mile 14. 

Then a descent into The Dalles. The loop back to the start travels Hwy 30.

The return trip includes the climb up to Rowena Crest before heading down to Mosier, repeating the trail backward.
