Description: The Mosier Twin Tunnels, located in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, are a historic and scenic marvel that date back to the early 20th century. Originally constructed in 1921 as part of the Historic Columbia River Highway, these tunnels were designed to provide a more accessible route through the rugged terrain of the gorge. After being closed to vehicular traffic in the 1950s due to the construction of Interstate 84, the tunnels fell into disrepair. However, they were restored and reopened in the 1990s as part of a trail for pedestrians and cyclists, offering breathtaking views of the Columbia River and the surrounding landscape. Today, the Mosier Twin Tunnels stand as a testament to early engineering ingenuity and serve as a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
