(Hood River, OR) -- One of the highlights of the Columbia River Historic Highway State Trail is now open. Work on the Mitchell Point Tunnel was celebrated in November, but crews needed to wait for better weather to complete work on the project. It's a recreation of the original tunnel that includes holes cut in the rock wall, so pedestrians and cyclists can look out over the Columbia River. The new mile-and-a-half section of the trail is now open. Parking is limited. You can walk to the trail from Viento State Park.
