New route this year. The
new Gibbons Creek Wildlife Art Trail (art features scheduled to be installed
Spring 2010) features scenic viewpoints of three small lakes, the Columbia
River, and Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. Many bird varieties and other
wildlife, natural habitat, and unique art signs. Remote
Start.
Be sure you are off the trail before an automatic entrance gate at the remote
trailhead closes promptly at posted time (around dusk).
The
Gibbons Creek and Columbia River Dike trails combine for several distance
options. The 13k and 15k routes start directly from the AM/PM start point,
through a new pedestrian plaza and tunnel under SR-14 (due to be completed in
February); all others are remote starts, 2.5 miles from AM/PM. Due to a seasonal
trail closure, wintertime distances are out-and-back. No water on trails; carry
water with you.
Restrooms and water at registration; restrooms only at trailhead. Suitable for
strollers but difficult for wheelchairs. NO PETS are allowed on the new Gibbons
Creek Trail. WSC: Art
