Not hardly. The tunnel next to Drano Lake has a side clearance of 12'-3". The tunnel next to tunnel lake has a side clearance of 11'-9". The fourth tunnel down has a side clearance of 12'-7".

Oh I believe you okay. I have read those signs several times going east on the highway more than once and each time I was dragging a 45' trailer that was 13'6" tall, or thereabouts. East on 14 to avoid the Wyeth (Hood River) scale, now relocated to Cascade Locks. Used to come west every once in a while the same way for a different view. Never did hit the tunnels that you are so sure that you can't go through.
