Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
The next day, we continued our ride (10 miles one way) on the ODT trail starting from Sequim and going past Blyn where the trail ends. A bit more road riding in this section and some elevation changes but still enjoyable. We parked in town but would advise parking near the Albert Hailer play fields and pick up the trail from there. There are trail detours signs along the way they appear permanent. Overall, a good ride.
We rode the section from the rest area east of Port Angeles (near RV@Olympic campground) to Sequim which was 14.5 miles one way. The trail was paved and in good condition and well marked. A few sections of road travel but really inconsequential to the whole. The first 5 miles of the trail was in a forested area with some significant ups and downs and winding turns. Glad to have e-bikes as those that didn’t were walking their bikes up the hills. Just need to be careful in this section! Otherwise, a really enjoyable ride! Also, Sequim has a number of places to eat that are rideable from the trail.
This trail, while very long, is only on rail corridor for a small percentage of time. When riding this trail, you need to keep in mind that the only goal of this trail construction was to have a peninsula wide trail. There was never any intention of creating a good riding experience. So when you have areas that are 10%+ grades, get suddenly turned out on a road, or just question the wisdom of route decisions, remember the one and only goal and enjoy the good parts. If you want a real rail trail experience head out to the Spruce rail trail in Olympic NP. The best part of the trail is from Port Angeles a few miles east towards Sequim, which is rail trail until you hit the 10% grades.
Agree with Hodge Podge as to the structure of the trail. Goes off old rail line on numerous occasions, has numerous road crossings and is very narrow is some areas. A large portion of all sections travels through private property with barking dogs and junk all over the place. Too bad trail could not have followed original rail line
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
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.
Started in Port Townsend and peddled all the way to La Push besides a ride through the gap around discovery bay. Passed through Sequim and stayed the night in Port Angeles on the first day. The next day I through lake crescent and stayed the night at Klahowya campground. On the third day I made it to La Push just around midday. It’s a great ride when it’s on the trail, but definitely some interesting stretches on the highway.
While I understand the need to use RTT as a form of economic development, it sure would be mighty appreciated to include some landmark state and county parks. We spent far too much time planning for this. Yup that’s part of the adventure but still.
