Centennial Trail (WA)

Always love coming back to this trail

November, 2024 by hrgroen

One of the things that stands out to me is how well people take care of this trail. After a storm, I often find that the trail is cleared, branches (big and small) are removed, and other obstacles are taken care of. I often see signs of saws or chainsaws to deal with larger trees or branches that have blocked the road. Good job, volunteers and clean-up crews!

Cascade Trail

too bad I didn’t make it to Sedro Woolley

October, 2024 by cgram43

I road from Rasar State park towards Sedro Woolley. One obstacle was a bridge that I had to walk across because the approach to this small trestle was a big step on both sides. It almost looks like the bridge has moved. I got to Lyman and thought I would get into SW by lunch time. A few miles east of town, I ran into some mud and water. I walked and the encounter running water and it got up to my ankles. It looked worse ahead so I doubled back to Lyman for lunch at the tavern that near the trail. Nice place too back the trail was got bad so I didn’t finish it. Hope they resolve this bad section because it is a nice trail and there isn’t any option except for Hwy 20.

North Creek Trail

not for wheels

September, 2024 by aliciashankland_tl

Much of the asphalt is severely buckled in the miles heading toward Bothell. So many that you cannot avoid or bike around big sections of long and high ridges and cracks. The bumps cover far more area than smooth pavement. There is also a stretch of very large rock gravel on a narrow, elevated path near where the path intersects with 405.

Snoqualmie Valley Trail

Part of this trail is closed so don’t start at Nick Loutus Park

August, 2024 by npthomson_tl

Part of this beautiful trail is closed for salmon restoration. You can still access most of the trail by going to the parking lot and trailhead with port-a potty at 356st off of state highway 202, Fall City Road. Head past the porta potty head basically north.

Centennial Trail (WA)

Nice varied trail

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Nice wide smooth trail. Lots of different views as one goes along.

Hertz Trail

Nice!

August, 2024 by rxrayinc

Easy walk/ride. So much plant life to see.

Burke-Gilman Trail

Nice

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

I’ve been on a lot of trails. This one rates a B. The asphalt is excellent and wide until one enters the Seattle district. Then Boom it suddenly turns into a C trail when I’m feeling generous. It’s knarly and narrow with tree roots. Barely wide enough for 2 people to pass. Get it together Seattle. Lots of people come here for the trails and we spend money. Not that Seattle seems to care about that.

Sammamish River Trail

Nice Ride

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

I liked this trail. Asphalt was almost perfect. Nice and wide. The scenery was above average not spectacular. Definitely worth doing.

Cross Kirkland Corridor (Eastrail)

Gravel Trail

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

I loved this ride. The trail was the best gravel trail I have ever been on. It’s worth checking out.

Burke-Gilman Trail

Love it, but….

August, 2024 by ch1444

Loved this ride, but sadly last year, August 2023, found it hard to navigate through the Ballard section with the market days. Had a fall on the poorly marked/paved road, and broke a bone. Going to redo the ride tomorrow and I know it will be awesome! (Now that I know the pitfalls)

Great American Rail-Trail

West bound from Ellensburg. August 2024

August, 2024 by tastesbadtobears

We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.
