It’s not every day that you get a brand new attraction in the Columbia River Gorge.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we head out to the new Mitchell Point Tunnel, open to pedestrians and cyclists only, found on the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail west of Hood River.

The 665-foot tunnel, which features rock windows that open to spectacular views of the Columbia Gorge, is one of the most impressive human-made attractions in the Columbia Gorge. It will be a major part of the 73-mile bike trail when that project is finally completed.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • What is the Mitchell Point tunnel?
  • The tunnel is a recreation of a historic tunnel by the same name.
  • How does this fit in to the larger Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail?
  • How to get to the tunnel, and what else to do while you’re there.
