NPS
Old roads, cross-country ski trails, and hilly, scenic terrain make the Hood River region attractive to riders who love to "do it in the dirt." Here are a few resources to learn about trails in the area:

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
There are many roads and trails on this USDA Forest Service land, offering access to old-growth forests, majestic river viewpoints, and varied terrain.

Columbia River Gorge Bike Map
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has provided this detailed set of maps for bikers. The map can be viewed in PDF format, or a hard-copy can be obtained from local bike shops or by contacting ODOT.

Trail Maps from Discover Bicycles
Discover Bicycles, a Hood River equipment shop, provides maps and detailed descriptions for three trails - great for hikers too.
