1. OR Border to Packwood
OR BORDER TO PACKWOOD – 119 miles
The beginning of the WABDR involves crossing the Bridge of the Gods from Oregon into Washington, just west of Stevenson, WA, where you should top off your fuel tank. The route then heads northeast over Triangle Pass and Trail Peak on gravel and dirt roads in Gifford Pinchot National Forest. On a clear day, riders will be treated to views of three volcanoes: Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. St. Helens, which lost 1,300 feet of elevation in a massive eruption on May 18th, 1980. A short detour from the route to visit the Guler Ice Caves is worth the time. Created by a lava flow over 20,000 years ago, this lava tube preserves ice formations year round. From there, you’ll ride north at the base of Mt. Adams and around Takhlakh Lake before beginning a long descent to the town of Packwood, where you’ll find full services.
