Notes:

The Five Car Free trails are 5% grade up/down. There are pedestrians, skateboarders, parents with strollers, people with visible and invisible disabilities.

The 3 HCRH trails are named Bonneville, Mitchell Point Tunnel, and Twin tunnels or Hatfield or Mosier tunnel trails. The extra 2 Car Free trails are 1) an extension of the Bonneville trail to Yeon Trailhead & 2) the Riverfront Trail near The Dalles.

Alert: Sadly, the Bonneville Trail has stairs at Eagle Creek which are not ADA compliant. The stairs have grooves which make it easier for lightweight bikes to go up/down the stairs. Quadricycles, trailers, and tricycles will require carrying the cycle. (see Gorge Pedal Disability web page for info)
