Skamania County sent us this news:
WET BUS WEEKEND TRANSIT
The Skamania County transit (Gorge West End Transit or WET) bus will begin an exciting new seven day a week service on May 1 through October 15. The regular transit bus runs five days a week, two runs a day, with three on Friday. The seasonal expansion will add four runs a day on Saturday and Sunday.
The bus schedules include stops at Stevenson, Carson, North Bonneville, Fisher’s Landing in Vancouver on 164th Ave, and then return to Columbia River Gorge trailheads and resorts. The additional stops include Salmon Falls Park and Ride/Cape Horn Trail, Beacon Rock, Bonneville Hot Springs, Bonneville Dam, Pacific Crest Trail, Skamania Lodge, Dog Mountain and the Trapper Creek Wilderness area. Paid for by a grant from Western Federal Lands, Washington Dept of Transportation, Friends of the Columbia Gorge, Stevenson, North Bonneville and Skamania County Tourism Funds, the weekend runs have an emphasis on accessing federal lands.
The public transportation grant is intended to relieve congestion at trailheads and shuttle guests from hotels and motels, festivals and fair visitors from resorts to trailheads, and locals from town to town. The bus is ADA accessible and has bike racks.
