7.5 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •

Spent the day just exploring around Mosier. Started with wandering all around the Mosier Plateau, where we found lots of balsamroot and parsley in bloom and an assortment of others (lupine, larkspur, grass widow, etc.) as well. Saw some monster squirrel-like things, and a little rock lizard of some sort, too. Then, we headed over to the Twin Tunnels bike path, and checked that out. It's kinda fun to go through the tunnels, and the views are nice, but the bike traffic is highly annoying (if not downright dangerous). Worth seeing. Once. Capped it off at Full Sail in Hood River. Ahhhh... :-)

That's a cool inscription. Where was that at? Was that the famous group that got stuck on the tracks in a winter snow storm in the gorge?

Thanks, yeah. Probably not the same group. This was inside the historic highway tunnel.
