Where is this??
The trails can be accessed from the "Downtown Station" located in the heart of North Bonneville. This location will eventually serve as the start point for all 4 interpretive routes. North Bonneville is located on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge in Skamania County, 35 miles east of Vancouver, WA.
The Downtown Station can be found by following the "Heritage Site" signs leading off of Hwy 14. The station is a small shelter with a blue and white Heritage Trails sign. More info about the trails including trail maps can be found here.
For those unfamiliar, North Bonneville is an incorporated city of less than 1000 people located between Beacon Rock and the Bonneville Dam. The community was born in the early 1930s during initial construction of the Bonneville Dam. In the late 1970s the entire town was relocated about 2 miles to its current location to make way for construction of a second dam powerhouse. While lacking some of the conveniences found in most communities today, North Bonneville prides itself on being a recreationally and environmentally minded community that blends gracefully into the dramatic Columbia Gorge landscape of Skamania County.
