Prominent within the Gorge Pedal area

 but not exclusive is the

Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH).

This roadway was the First American Scenic Highway built for vehicles.

Indigenous peoples have been walking in this human corridor for 12,000 years or more. Know  that the people who came to this region in the 1700s and later benefited from these

paths well worn by the millions of people

whom occupied these lands.

Each generation is a steward of this

precious land, water and air.

The Historic Columbia River Highway started construction

in 1916 in Troutdale, Oregon and was completed in 1922 in The Dalles.

The Dalles Mural Project 2022 celebrated its largest mural in featuring the 100th anniversary for the completion of the The Historic Columbia River Highway and Trails  in August 2022.

Below and on following pages is the construction of the mural

by Wall Dogs' passionate advocates and the citizens of The Dalles.

Enjoy.
