Skipped the Forest Park run this week for an Independence Day trip to #HoodRiver with friends. The weather was perfect. On Sunday, my son and I did a bike/run on the Old Highway through the Mosier Tunnels. Taking good pictures in the #Gorge feels like cheating.

Two children sit side by side on the edge of a floating dock with their feet in the Columbia River as dusk settles in. The Hood River Bridge spans the background while calm water fills most of the frame.The Hood River Bridge glows with evenly spaced lights against a deep blue night sky. Reflections shimmer across the river while the surrounding hills fade into silhouette.A child rides a bicycle along a smooth paved trail high above the Columbia River Gorge. Dramatic white clouds sweep across a deep blue sky, with golden hills and the river stretching into the distance.A child pauses on a bicycle inside a timber-lined tunnel, silhouetted against the bright daylight at the far end. Repeating wooden beams frame the scene, creating a strong sense of depth and symmetry.
