One of the most incredible features of an ambitious recreation corridor is set to open in the Columbia River Gorge. The recreated Mitchell Point Tunnel, the latest addition to the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, had an opening ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 16 – though it won’t officially be open to the public until later this year, or early 2025, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation. The tunnel is the main attraction of a new 1.5-mile segment of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, a recreational corridor that retraces the historic 73-mile Historic Columbia Highway between Portland and The Dalles. While much of the trail follows remaining stretches of the scenic highway, which is open to cars, portions of it are on new, paved pathways open only to cyclists and pedestrians.
