A lot of websites only provide directions by car. Columbia Gorge Car-Free chooses routes more conducive to a natural setting.
Jonathan Maus updates the latest effort in an ongoing campaign to convince people to leave their cars at home when visiting the Columbia River Gorge.
The Oregon Department of Transportation launched a popular shuttle bus service in 2016 along those lines, and now Travel Oregon has funded a new website called ColumbiaGorgeCarfree.com, which "features carfree itineraries for popular Gorge destinations."
Maus provides more insight about the website's offerings, as well as a preview of more products coming soon.
