Road and Mountain Biking
Syncline and Columbia Hills remain your best Gorge options for mountain biking at this time. Sounds like some stuff is open on Hospital Hill. While it is currently possible to ride the stunts and jumps at Family Man, Post Canyon trails are still under about 4” of wet snow according to a report from yesterday. In road biking news, State Road, Mosier to The Dalles, and Sevenmile have been swept of gravel. The grass widows are blooming, but there’s no sign of Balsam Root yet.
