Cycling the Historic Columbia River Highway

A lone cyclist ascends the weathered stone guardrail of the Historic Columbia River Highway, with the deep azure waters of the Columbia River stretching beyond verdant hillsides dotted with emerald islands. The ancient basalt overlook structure stands sentinel above Mayer State Park, while dense Pacific Northwest forest cascades down to meet the river's edge. Afternoon light illuminates the cyclist's determined climb along this legendary scenic route through the Columbia River Gorge.
