Two additional miles of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail were dedicated on Saturday. The dedication ceremony included a ribbon-cutting at Viento State Park South, now home to a new hiker/biker campground with an ADA-accessible campsite, three shelters for cooking, lockers with chargers, hot showers and an ADA-accessible restroom. This additional two-mile segment continues the trail east from Viento State Park toward Mitchell Point. With this segment open, people hiking, biking and rolling can enjoy eight miles of car-free trail heading east from the Wyeth Trailhead at Intestate 84 Exit 51. The trail does not yet connect to the Mitchell Point Tunnel, scheduled to open in the spring of 2024. With this new segment now open, the State Trail has 18 car-free miles between Troutdale and The Dalles with four miles remaining.
