Join the Bicycle Tourism Initiative Saturday, September 20th for a scenic and informative 50-mile ride with many stops along the Historic Columbia River Highway.  Learn some great stories about the highway presented by ODOT's Kristen Stallman and some equally interesting factoids about salmonids delivered by knowledgeable staff from State Parks, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Metro.  Meet at Corbett High School for the ride start.  The route follows the Historic Columbia River Highway east to Bonneville and the Cascade Hatchery at Eagle Creek.  The tour returns to Corbett along the Historic Highway and continues to Troutdale for a last glimpse of salmon and a discussion about the historic highway's role in Oregon's tourism economy.
