I joined some friends and did a three-day packdown tour of the Columbia Gorge (and more). Some pictures are here. The first day we started in Bigen, Wa and headed east to Lyle. From there, we took the Centerville Hwy north to the small town of Centerville (no services). We ended the day at Maryhill State Park. Day Two saw us cross the bridge over the Columbia River and head toward The Dalles. It was windy! We we reached The Dalles, we turned to the south and headed to Dufer. We spent the night in the Dufer City Park. Day Three was long. First we climbed up toward Mt. Hood before turning north towards Hood River.
