Motorcycle the Columbia River Loop in Woodland, WA

A motorcycle ride along the Columbia River: It doesn't get much better than this. An outstanding side road to explore by motorcycle is the Dike Road near Woodland, Washington, just down the river from Portland, Oregon. The unimaginative name gives no hint of the spectacular views you find on this road. Take Exit 22 off I-5 and turn west. The road goes through farmland and fruit orchards, until it turns and runs high along the banks of the Columbia River for about six miles. With virtually no traffic you can soak in views of the river, Mt Hood and Mt St Helens, and the surrounding hills. Take time for this route on your motorcycle tour through the pacific northwest, a leisurely 2-hour loop from Portland.
