Ok, here's the second part of Stage 5. We leave Golden Beach, OR and head north on the Oregon side of the Pacific Coast Highway. We will pass by Cape Blanco Lighhouse, Coos Bay, and Dunes City. They say this section of the PCH is one of the best. We keep heading north until we reach Oretown, and then start heading inland towards Portland. Once we reach Portland, we head east on the Historic Columbia River Highway--they say this road is amazing. We then cross the Columbia river and head north at Carson. This next section will be challenging, since we will be covering lots of gravel roads. Some of our riders are still not too comfortable with gravel roads, so we'll have to be careful. Next, we pass in between Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Adams (this section should have some of the best scenery of the trip).
We'll head north towards Packwood and then reach the skirts of Mt. Rainier, one of the iconic places of the amazing Northwest. After that, it's pretty much a strait shot to Seattle, where we will conclude the trip.
I can't wait for this amazing adventure. Only 5 weeks to go...
