Lunch was at Hood River where you turn south. Plan to spend the morning along this section. Wahkeena and Multnomah Falls were accessible with no real hike. The I-84 portion of the trip north of Mt.

Hood is cool, but it's not the only reason to do this circle. It's either hidden from view by the trees and mountain ridges or there are clouds. The whole drive is 140 miles or 2 hrs and 45 minutes with no stops. Where it intersected with Hwy 26 we hung another right and headed west back to Portland. At Hood River, we hung a right and went south down Hwy 35. We started at the Portland airport and drove east along I-84 and the Columbia River. We started at noon on a beautiful fall day in October and ran out of light around 6:00 PM. Upon receipt of these documents and check, I will email a run packet with further information.This is a gorgeous full day trip to experience all there is to see.
