The Dalles, Hood River and Lolo Pass | Bikepacking From California to Nova Scotia | E4 | Oregon

In 2024, I quit my job to travel the world and the first order of business was to go on a solo 8,500 mile bikepacking trip across the US and Canada! In this episode, I ride from the finish line of the Oregon Outback and the Deschutes River Recreation Area and fight a brutal headwind going into the Dalles. From there I take the Historic Columbia River Highway to Hood River and then head up towards Mt. Hood and Lolo Pass.
