Glenwood – Trout Lake HighwayThis windy little highway connects two interesting little towns that lie in the shadow of Mt. Adams and the Yakama Indian Reservation. While these two towns obviously don’t have motorcycle dealerships to handle repairs (Hood River’s just 25 miles away), between the two of them, they seem to have the basics covered. There’s some lodging in Glenwood including a notable B&B frequented by Supreme Court judges and a regionally renowned rodeo that’s been hosted in June annually since 1934, in addition to a couple restaurants. Trout Lake also has a number of lodging options nearby including camping at Elk Meadows RV park. Trout Lake also has a number of dining options available including the all-important espresso shop, a necessity for any Seattle-ite. There is reputed to be a gas station at the junction of “Mt. Adams Road” and Route 141.

Be really careful of your speed coming into Glenwood. The local law likes to hang out behind buildings on the approaches to town and gun riders.
They also hide about 2 miles out of town heading easttowards Goldendale/Klickitat.
I’ve never seen them ticket a car or truck for speeding……they have a real thing for bikes….ESPECIALLY sport bikes.
There are some fantastic sweepers and twisties about 4 miles outside of Glenwood….just watch your speed as you come into the last mile or so before town.
