Looking for some fun in the sun?! Use Bingen as your basecamp for one of the most unforgettable rides in the Columbia River Gorge 🚴

The Klickitat Trail begins just down the road in Lyle and winds through wildflower-covered hills, oak groves, pine forests, remote canyon country, and sweeping river views that feel bigger with every mile.

Mid-spring through early summer is the sweet spot to ride, when the flowers are blooming and the rivers and creeks are running full. The route follows an old railroad corridor alongside the nationally designated Wild and Scenic Klickitat River before climbing into the wide-open landscapes of the Goldendale Plateau.

Expect gravel, adventure, and plenty of moments that make you stop just to take it all in.

A few ride tips 👇🏻
• Wider tires are recommended for the rugged railroad-grade gravel
• Bring a red blinky light for the Centerville Highway section
• Water and restrooms are available at the Lyle trailhead
• Please respect private property and stay on trail

Spring in the Gorge isn’t subtle… it’s a full-on bloom explosion 🌿✨

Base yourself in Bingen, WA and step straight into the season’s best—wildflowers, waterfalls, wine, and wide-open adventure.

Hike through iconic spots like Coyote Wall, Catherine Creek, and Dog Mountain (shown) where hillsides turn gold with balsamroot and trails wind through peak spring color. Chase waterfalls like Panther Creek Falls and Falls Creek Falls, roaring with snowmelt and putting on their loudest show of the year.

Between hikes, slow things down with a glass in hand. Spring is prime time for wine tasting in the Gorge—fewer crowds, fresh vineyard views, and plenty of places to sip. Explore nearby favorites like Syncline Winery, Cor Cellars, and Domaine Pouillon in Lyle, or head up Underwood Mountain for AniChe Cellars, Loop de Loop, Savage Grace, and more.

Spring also brings the Gorge to life with events like wine releases, the White Salmon Wine Walk, and the Wildflower Festival—a full month of celebrating everything in bloom.

From paddle days on the Columbia to wildlife watching (hello, eagles 🦅), this is the season where everything wakes up—and you should too.
