Sound to Olympics Trail

Excited for this trails completion

January, 2025 by kim.c.spray

I can’t wait for this trail to be completed!

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.

Great American Rail-Trail

such a beautiful trail!

October, 2024 by sherryschie

We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!

East Lake Sammamish Trail

Scenic and quality trail

September, 2024 by jwubbie

Scenic and the natural restoration is very well done, especially the interpretive signs and benches. Signage along the parkway to trailheads was lacking as were trail/milage markers along the way as was drinking water. If you go solo, take the time to investigate and plan a route.

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.

SR 520 Trail

Across lake Washington bridge

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Outstanding

Ship Canal Trail

Connects to the Burke Gilman.

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

It’s ok since it connects

SR 520 Trail

MicroSoft section

August, 2024 by swvn2cp6ym

Took the trail that goes by all the Microsoft offices. The trail itself was noisy and not that great of shape. However we stumbled onto a bridge across SR520 into the Microsoft world. Absolutely amazing. Like a different world. Remove and isolated
