HCRH State Trail

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When construction began in the 1950s on what would become Interstate 84, many portions of the Historic Columbia River Highway were demolished, abandoned, or bypassed. Today, ODOT is working to restore many of the bypassed segments for use as bike paths and pedestrian hiking trails. This road-to-trails project has been designated as a Millennium Legacy Trail by the White House Millennium Council.  In 2002, the HCRH State Trail was designated a National Recreation Trail.
