If you like hills, this trail is great. If you don’t like hills (like me), not so great of a trail.
Enjoyed riding this trail which connects to the Burke Gilman. We got in 26 miles starting at the park and transitioning to the Burke. Lots of people on a Sunday mid morning. Only a few hammer heads not announcing “passing” and whipped by me and pedestrians with children. You have to be alert for sure! Trail was marked and in great shape. Nice views!
We had a great ride from Sequim to Port Angelos and back—about 40 miles. Be aware that a section of the trail is closed and you must detour where they are replacing a bridge.

We walked from Snoqualmie Falls over to this trail and thought we’d get off the road, but a long strength of it was just walking an a paved road, until getting to the Reinig Bridge. From there on it’s flat and mostly shaded…but also just straight ahead through a golf course. We left the trail at North Bend
Rode different sections of this trail in our cross country trip on recumbent trikes. We had difficulty sinking in the sand, thick gravel , getting stuck several times and got stuck in thick mud. If it had appropriate surface, it could be a premiere trail.
Beautiful day with clouds clearing to sunshine. Trail is fully paved from Puyallup trailhead to at least Buckley were we had hot dogs for the return trip. About 40 miles with great conditions. Well worth the trip!
We took electric scooters and did 16miles of this trail was so beautiful seen 6 deer 5 turkeys will glad go back and explore more
Very nice trail, we started in Maple Valley and it was about 6 miles of gravel, not idea on our road tires but we made do and were able to hit the pavement for our remaining miles. Overall fun trail and family friendly, just watch out for those Ebikes
Our family group ranged in age from eight to seventy-two. We spotted a car near Garcia and began our trip at Hyak. On a near 90 degree day, the tunnel was a cool and inviting place. We learned the hard way that our lights were inadequate. A good bike mounted light would have made this leg of the trip more enjoyable.
We found the surface of the trail gravel too course to ride comfortably even with our down hill direction on the trail. The loose coarse aggregate did push our front wheels sideways from time to time which required a lot of concentration. That hindered our enjoyment of the scenery.
Overall, we had a good time on the trail until the end. The road to the Garcia connection to the trail was is such poor condition that we chose not to risk damage to our cars and parked about a mile away. That road back to the parked car was extremely difficult to travel on a bike with two of us losing control of our bikes with one set of scuffed knees and elbows. This could be a trail that makes the hall of fame if the State of Washington would provide a better surface.
its well maintained, straight, flat and the scenery is interesting. and you actually feel like you’re going somewhere.
This trail is ok, but it is horribly marked. That is to say, it really is hardly marked at all and as it makes numerous forks and turns where it joins major traffic centers, this lack of signage is a problem. thats if you can even find the northern trailhead. it took me 3 different google map guided excursions to finally find it, and two of those it seemed obvious that Google was trying to kill me. Still, its a quiet, windy path that is in pretty good condition and the bits of urban heritage farms that are tucked away in little alcoves among urban centers was a pleasanr surprise. but if you a tuallt wanna get somewhere, the Interirnan South us a far superior trail.
