Section 7 of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail begins in Clarkston, Washington and heads overland to the Pacific Ocean. When the route meets the Columbia River, winds can become fierce, blowing predominately from the west particularily in the area known as the Gorge. This map section, like others on this route, has options. You can ride along the Gorge in either Oregon or Washington. From Astoria, the 19.3-mile Cape Disappointment Spur crosses the Columbia into Washington and heads west to Cape Disappointment State Park.

Mr. James C. Becker, Vancouver, WA, has sponsored this section of the Lewis & Clark Bicycle Trail and major funding has been provided by REI.
