Motorcycle Trip Through The Cascades On Columbia River Washington State

Riding next to the Columbia River is an amazing mixture of sun, dappled sunlight and tree lined road all within sight of an amazing river for the first half then semi-arid wide open spaces for the second half.

Getting to WA-14 is a long drive from just about any part of Washington State, if you travel East on WA-14 from I-5 you should think about spending a night in Hood River, Oregon. There isn't much East of Hood River on WA-14. Note that Oregon is one of two states that do not allow you to pump your own gas. For Motorcyclists, however, the gas station attendants look the other way because we are motorcyclists and we get cranky when someone messes up our paint jobs. ATTENTION! East of Hood River you are in the Western United States. PAY ATTENTION to the 'No Service for the next XXX miles' while in the western states. Fill up your tank at Hood River, you have about 122 miles before the next gas station in Umatilla Oregon on I-82 (ask me how I know ... :-) ...)

As you can see from the below pictures as you drive from the West to the East the trees dissapear and the grass and rocks start to appear
