The Oregon Department of Transportation is resurfacing the freeway from Hood River to Rowena over the next few months.  At exit 69, Mosier’s on and off ramp will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.—one way each night—4/22/18 and 4/23/18.  We should know which direction will be closed on which night in a few days. We’ll keep you posted. Meanwhile, safe travels!

If you’re looking forward to hiking in the Gorge this Spring, venture a short 5 miles east of Hood River to the vibrant town of Mosier, where hiking, biking and gnoshing are all in good company with locals who celebrate Gorge life. Here’s a sneak preview courtesy of OPB, Friends of the Gorge and the Towns to Trails program:
