When I started the site, I asked myself, \"What would I want to see as a parent?\" I knew that video is exactly what I'd want to see, so that's why I started posting them. I'm glad you found it useful.<br /><br /> Thank you very much!

We will definitely take a return trip - my son is fascinated by all the wind turbines going up around the area. Plus, I know there are some state parks around there (Oregon and Washington) that we should check-out. <br /><br />We have been into \"Letterboxing\" in the past - it's like low-tech geocaching. I think it's something we'd definitely like to try in the near future. We'll definitely be back soon to ride the 10 miles of Riverfront trail. <br /><br />Vince Thanks for the comment Dana!

Stop by the Chamber of Commerce on your next visit and we can tell you about our other "hidden gems" that are not only family friendly but created especially for families, such as our geocaching opportunities and the Fort Dalles Museum (I know another museum but it dates back to the mid-19th century when The Dalles was actually a fort with a garrison of soldiers -- lots of room for kids, big and small) among others. I did want to let you know that the Riverfront Trail is mostly finished. The section between Riverfront Park and The Dalles Dam is not complete. Presently, you can ride from the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum to downtown The Dalles -- a roundtrip distance of 10 miles -- and beyond to Riverfront Park using streets. Each year we complete a bit more. Dana Schmidling, Executive Director The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce I am so happy that you enjoyed your visit to The Dalles.
