A sunny Saturday but only one other person on this trail full of historical markers about the Tigard/Tualatin area.
Thanks to your mapping it was easy to follow! Only on the road a bit! Beautiful views and a gentle ride. Loved it!
Some of the complaints about the trail from earlier in the year seem to have been resolved. There are new approaches to some of the bridges and attempts made to partially fill the worst of the cracking in the pavement. Bumps and dips are well-marked, so often avoidable if you're paying attention. So thanks to whoever is doing this good work! A tree across the path on our way to Vernonia was - surprisingly - completely cleared by the time we biked back, so someone is paying attention! Great ride!
Rode this trail from one end to the other and back on Mountain Bikes and had no issues at all. Some of the previous reviews make it sound dangerous on bikes but I did not find that to be true at all. Maybe they've improved the boardwalk sections since those reviews but yes there are small gaps between some boards but none are wide enough to cause issues for bikes. Yes you need to be careful of the rail crossings and do stay away from the rails themselves as they have gaps. That said, using common sense this is a super fun trail. Don't let the negative reviews deter you!
There are many trails. One of them goes straight up a slight grade. Dangerous because the maintenance has been forgotten. Tree roots everywhere destroyed the blacktop. There was a new trail we stumbled on by accident. It’s good for now. Scenery was good but hard to enjoy. This is a park they should be maintaining it.
In its current state it isn’t worth trying to figure out.
Nice ride up and down the ocean front. Good people watching. The walk way is wide. It does need resurfacing.
There were definitely some areas that needed over due maintenance. Over all it was an enjoyable ride. Did the whole length both ways
Since the city cleaned up following Covid, this a really lovely and quiet trail. Please visit and use it to keep it beautiful and clean!
Once again the Cascade Bicycle Club’s annual Seattle-to-Portland Bicycle Ride took some 6,000 riders along the Yelm Rainier Tenino Trail this weekend. The trail used to be very pleasant but over the (17) years I have participated in the STP, the trees have grown and the tree roots have progressively ruined the surface of the asphalt. Even worse, the shade is such that it is virtually impossible to see the uneven ruts and bumps until you’ve hit them. This is especially true when dozens of cyclists are cruising down the trail in a pace line at 25 mph. Yesterday was just plain dangerous.
There are also dozens of raised yellow box covers for posts. I have never seen the posts being used, but the box covers are another pointless danger for unsuspecting cyclists. This is no small issue given that 75% to 80% of the riders each year are participating in the STP for the first time. And when one cyclist goes down, he/she takes several more down as well. These covers should be permanently removed or at least designed to be perfectly flat. Just common sense.
This trail could be a real asset to the community, but presently it is a hazard to cyclists.
I can't give this 5 stars because of the 3 busy highways that you have to cross when getting close to Tenino.
Otherwise it is a great trail for distance, and relatively quiet without a lot of trail traffic.
word to the wise.. there is a significant amount of the trail that is not shaded. Wear your sunscreen and or go early in the morning.
I am planning another trail ride this year most likely in the fall.
