The Northwestern Tour will depart the beautiful
Pacific Northwest in Astoria, Oregon. We will head out to the rugged Oregon coast to dip our
rear wheel in the Pacific Ocean and begin the trek Across America. From the mouth of the
Columbia River well meander along the river to Portland. Youll see many of the small
communities along the way and share in the local history and folklore of the region.
Continuing from Portland we head southeast and begin to climb up through the cascades. The
terrain is challenging and the scenery breathtaking. Mount Hood is visible and will continue
to get bigger and bigger as we approach and ultimately cycle past the great peak and continue
the trek into eastern Oregon. After a few mountainous days the route will settle down and
cross into Idaho, a state also know for its mountains. Here well reach our destination in
Boise.
