Those who live in the Pacific Northwest are familiar with its reputation as a natural wonder. One of the best ways to take in the incredible scenery of this region is from the distinct view of a bicycle. With so many trails to choose from, the most hard-core cyclists and the newest cyclists are sure to find a trail that is just perfect.
Just outside the hustle and bustle of Seattle is the 27 mile track of the Burke Gilman Trail. A long time hot spot for skaters, cyclists runners, and walkers it was formerly a railroad built in the 1800’s. Since its’ transformation almost 40 years ago, the trail actually draws quite a crowd, both those on wheels and on foot. As a rule of thumb, keep to the right and keep the speed down.
If you are looking for a ride that is more secluded, the Marine Drive Bike Trail may be right for you. Although a small section of the trail is on the road, most of the ride is pretty uncivilized. The 17 mile long trail follows the Willamette River located in North Portland, Oregon and skirts along the trails of the Blue Lake Regional Park. The views and scenic hideaways are truly a treat, just be sure to come prepared.
If you are the type of cyclists that looks for tracks that are unusual, then the Route of the Hiawathas is sure to please. Located in Roland, Idaho, the Route of the Hiawathas begins at the Taft Tunnel and will require specific gear, including a helmet with proper lighting. There are 8 tunnels and a few train tressels lining the 15 miles of compacted gravel. With plenty of directional and historical signs along the way, this is a trip that will be remembered for a long time. One last note, this particular track has an $8 fee for adult riders, but is worth every penny.
The Centennial Trail in Snohomish County (WA) is 25 miles in length. It is fairly secluded and riders will enjoy some great scenery. The trail is paved and has all the needed facilities to make your ride comfortable. However, the hours to ride are limited to 6 a.m. to dusk. There are also plenty of railroad gates to be aware of. There is a gradual upgrade to the trail when headed north.
Yet another Railroad of old is the Trail of the Coeur d Alenes. This former Union Pacific runs from Mullen to Plummer, Idaho. The scenery includes lakes and mountains and boasts 72 miles of beautifully paved trail. If you are traveling with young riders, this trail is a good path to take. Crossing through Heyburn State Park, the Coeur d Alenes will hopefully be connected to the Route of the Hiawathas.
As illustrated in the details above, the Pacific Northwest has no shortage of scenic and exciting bike paths to entertain and delight cyclists. Though some of these trails may require more than one trip, I’m sure one can find a new treasure in every visit.
