drawing of a female mountain biker riding on the Sidehill Dodger trail in the Columbia River Gorge


Mountain biking in the Gorge is some of the best in the United States. Trails wind through old-growth forest, along volcanic plains, and along wildflower-covered slopes. There are cross-country rides, freeride areas, shuttles, climbs, and just about anything else you could imagine riding your bike over. Click through to the pages for more information about the rides. Riding Post Canyon? You’ll need to get a parking pass from Hood River County.
