Just curious, If you go Eastbound in Oregon, did anyone say how you avoid going through the tunnel?

I had several people ask me to summarize the Cascade Locks ride suggestions for the list.

This map covers all or most of it (Thanks Del!) http://www.skamania.com/pdf/biking-guide.pdf

Several people suggested a round trip eastbound through Washington and westbound through Oregon. That is covered here:

The best Oregon (eastbound) option is summarized here (thanks Aaron):

You can take Old HWY and a couple of frontage roads about 8-10 miles past Multnomah Falls to Bonneville. Then you have to get on I-84 for about a 1/2-1 mile (at most) section on that is not bad at all, large shoulder, then you bounce off the freeway at Eagle Creek Fish Hatchery and there is a bike/hiking path that takes you the rest of the way to Cascade locks, maybe another 3-4 miles

Several people warned of the hazards of crossing the Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks due to metal grating. Others said they ride it all the time. There is a $0.50 fee for bikes to cross it.

Thanks again for all of the input.
