STEVENSON: 10KM, Rated 3; 5KM, Rated 2

The city of Stevenson is 6 miles east of North Bonneville, in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, and is also the Skamania County seat.  Our route had two 5K loops and included town hills, the Port’s Waterfront Interpretive Trail, sternwheeler “Columbia Gorge” dock, Bob’s Beach (windsurfers and sailboarders), Rock Creek Cove, past the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center, and the Gorge Loop nature trail at Skamania Lodge. It was mostly sidewalks and paved paths.
