Notes
- The John B. Yeon Trailhead is the western terminus of the paved off-road section of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. The section between here and Moffett Creek was dedicated in September 2013.
- Car break-ins have increased at this location over the years due to the proximity to the Interstate. Hikers are warned not to leave valued possessions in your car. Carry your wallet with you and leave everything else at home. Some hikers leave their glove compartments open and cars unlocked, as clouters are usually attracted to easily grabbed valuables and identity information and not the car itself.
