Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail

Amazing - but be prepared

August, 2024 by jblack3

It is difficult to rate this trail. I rode the trail from Seattle to Idaho during June of 2024 and experienced extreme highs and extreme lows. The ride from Fall City to Snoqualmie Pass was AMAZING - most beautiful ride I've every done. Most of the posted reviews are from riders that have only done this section. As you do a steady uphill climb your will pass rock climbers, amazing bridges, and a beautiful thick forest. Be prepared with headlights and a rain jacket as you go through the 2 + mile tunnel at Snoqualmie Pass. Once you exit the tunnel the landscape will start to change. You will still be in a forest, but it feels like a different type of forest. As you head east, the trees will slowly start to disappear as you will start to feel like your in the wild west - still beautiful but a different kind of beauty. When you reach Ellensburg, you better load up with water and food because things are about to get very tough. The ride from Ellensburg to Beverly is very remote - you will be way off the grid in the wild west (no trees) I recommend that you have some type of tracking device because you are about to enter an area where there is no water / food / people / nothing for about 40 miles. About 10-15 miles is deep sand that is very challenging to ride. I rode with 700 X 50 tires - I would recommend tires at least this wide or wider. If your riding tires any thinner it will be very challenging. Later you will ride on very rocky roads that were created for horses - not bikes. There is a fun downhill section through cliffs. MTB skills would be a plus here because there are sandy sections that suddenly appear and large rocks the size of footballs. This section is fun, but be prepared. There was a water pump that is used for horses that was located about a mile off the trail - my friend did some research and found the water pump. Make sure you carry lots of water you will be averaging about half the speed that you normally ride at. I'm sure the sand and rocky sections vary throughout the year, but it was tough when we did the ride. I'm sure most people don't know about the water pump - so do some research. You will get excited when you see the bridge at Beverly - nice place to take pictures. I recommend after crossing the bridge to ride the extra 2-3 miles to get food and water at the gas station that is east of the bridge - there will be no water or food from here to Othello. The road from Beverly to Othello was very sandy and rocky. There were rocky sections that are unrideable even for expert MTB riders. One this day it was very hot, and my friends and I struggled to make it to Othello as we rode from Ellensburg to Othello in one day. From Othello to Idaho you will continue to ride on very, very, very, very rocky roads. You will wish you had a MTB or fatbike. There are some very beautiful sections where I felt like I was in a scene from "Dances with Wolves". But you will still be very off the road and will feel like you are a early pioneer traveling across the country by horse and wagon. This ride is not for everyone. Some people will love it, some people will hate it. I have to admit that I was cussing at the rocky roads. This ride will be like no ride you have ever done before. Be prepared if your going to ride the full trail. A little information - the group I was riding with was riding across the country from Seattle to Washington DC on bikes that where fully loaded with heavy gear.

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.

Lower Yakima Valley Pathway

Lower Yakima Valley Pathway on a Recumbent Trike

I have thought long and hard about this trail/pathway but finally decided to tell the brutal truth. I had seen this trail over the 20 years I have lived here but never taken the effort to ride its length until yesterday. The weather was not a problem as the temperature was in the high 60’s and there was very little wind with no cloud cover, sunscreen was mandatory in these conditions.

The one positive for this trail is that it is generally level with little or no ups and downs.

If you’re looking for a route with beautiful river views or forested byways, then this is not a route for you. The views on this route are of distant hills which are not forested and agricultural land growing crops and raising livestock which brings about pollen issues for some and the unpleasant smells associated with agriculture. The trail has zero markers indicating directions, I had to use the map feature on my phone to locate the trail after passing through the downtown area of Grandview. Additionally, there are zero public facilities along its entire length so take plenty of water. In the urban areas you can find fast-food locations and several small local restaurants which may let you use their facilities.

The trail is in two counties; Benton and Yakima, and three cities; Proser, Grandview, Sunnyside and it is easy to tell when you have crossed from one area of responsibility to another. The trail surface in Prosser is fairly smooth and vegetation free and transitions to a Benton County section has lots of cracks in the pavement which have been sealed but still have gaps which affect the ride however, there was no vegetation growing in them. Grandview has a small section of the trail on each end and to get between these two points entails having to travel on Wine Country Road (the major thoroughfare) for approximately 1.4 miles. What trail sections which are within Grandview are fairly well maintained. Between Grandview and Sunnyside the trail is in Yakima County and could see some maintenance, like the Benton County section there are lots of cracks in the pavement, but they have not seen any sealer and thus have unmaintained vegetation growing through them (this is evident when you pass the Kubota tractor dealer on your right as you approach Sunnyside when the errant vegetation is gone). The trail in the city of Sunnyside is maintained similarly to Prosser and Grandview.

What this trail needs is one entity to be overall in charge of overseeing its condition and maintenance and able to work with all government entities involved. It needs signage of one type or another to direct users in the correct route instead of making them fumble to find their way. Restroom facilities would also be of great help for users while water may be a bigger problem as this area of Washington state is rather arid as the average rainfall is less than 15 inches. The agriculture in the area depends heavily on irrigation networks to bring water to the farms.

I started at the Prosser end and rode to the Sunnyside end and back. Starting in Prosser there is no designated trail parking, and you will have to find street parking. The actual end of the pathway is not marked so I’ll call it as the intersection of Wine Country Road and Grant Ave. The pathway is on the west side of Wine Country Road and proceeds north across the Yakima River, trail travels in a north westerly direction overall. About a block past the bridge on your left will be Chukar Cherries, a local business which specializes in coated cherries and nuts (primarily chocolate) and they usually have samples available. The pathway continues north past the local airport on your left until you reach the first cross street, Old Inland Empire Highway, which has a crosswalk but no signals. A short distance later you will come to the intersection of Gap Road and Wine Country Road, cross Gap Road (once again a cross walk but no signals). Continue north past the Love’s Truck stop taking care when crossing both of their entrances (one for cars and one for trucks).

You are now into the rural area of the county and the pathway goes in a northerly direction for about a ½ mile the pathway crosses to the other side of Wine Country Road, no crosswalk, no signals so use care. The pathway is in need of maintenance as there are lots of cracks in the surface which have been sealed at some point in time but could use attention as you can feel everyone as you ride over it. About ¼ mile you come to Johnson Road, once again the story on this route no cross walk or signals as we are out of the populated areas. The pathway veers to the right and down to pass under the rail bridge and then back up to the level of Wine Country Road. The path continues to parallel Wine Country Road until you come to an Irrigation canal where the pathway turns to the right for a short distance and then back to the left and you cross the canal on a small bridge. About 1.3 miles and you cross a small rural road, Williams Road, and continue north as you pass the WDOT/WSP truck scales and inspection station on your right. If you look to your left, there is a very good chance that you will see a crop growing on lines strung from other lines between tall posts. If you drink beer there is a very good chance this is where the Hops used in its brewing process is grown (Washington grows roughly 69% of Hops in the USA with the Yakima valley producing the majority of that).

In approximately 2 miles you will come to the intersection of Wine Country Road and McCreadie Road, the cars travel through a roundabout and there is a crosswalk for the pathway on McCreadie Road but no signals. In a very short distance, you will cross an irrigation Canal and then enter a small park with a rose garden. At the other end of the park the pathway ends, and you are on Wine Country Road, travel west using the bike lane where available, I found traffic to be moderate. After about 1.2 miles you will reach the intersection of Wine Country Road, 4th Street, and Euclid Street (there is a drive-thru coffee stand on 4th Street as a reference point). You will want to cross to the other side of Wine Country Road and cross Euclid Street to get back onto the pathway, there is a light and crosswalk to assist getting across the intersection.

Once on the pathway, travel through a small parking lot (could be used as a trailhead although not marked as such with signage), continue in a northwest direction for approximately ½ mile and you will approach an unnamed intersection with a crosswalk and signal (to the right leads to I-82 on and off ramps). Once again when you get a little further along on the pathway you leave the urban area and enter into the rural county area and it is noticeable on the pathway from the needed maintenance. Almost every crack in the pavement from here to the point where the city of Sunnyside takes over maintenance had large clumps of vegetation growing in them. The road next to the pathway has now changed names from Wine Country Road to Yakima Valley Highway. After a little under 2 miles you cross Tear Road, no crosswalk or signal and continue for approximately 2.3 miles to Waneta Road. Waneta Road is the south/east I-82 access to Sunnyside and can be rather busy, there is a crosswalk and signals to help you get through the intersection. In just under ½ mile (Walmart on your left) you will reach Lincoln Road which has a crosswalk and signal to help you cross. In another ½ mile you will come to Edison Avenue (crosswalk and signal) and after crossing Edison Avenue it is only a short ¼ mile to the north/west end of the pathway where there is a small parking lot for use by users of the pathway (once again no signage).

The return journey is a reverse route back to Prosser, where you can stop at Chukar Cherries and try a sample or two as your personnel reward for enduring the trip.

Richland Riverfront Trail

Update on my previous review

May, 2024 by ratrat4563

As you may have noticed my least favorite portion of this trail is just north of Howard Amon Park when the trail goes up onto the levee. The trail surface is in bad shape from uplifting asphalt and hazardous to all users. Good news, the city of Richland just announced that this summer (2024) they are going to be closing this section of the trail and will provide signage for a detour while they completely redo this section to address the problems. Additionally this past winter a section of the trail just north of Sprout Road (near the WSU Tri-Cities campus) washed out and will be closed and repaired in the same time frame, detours are also to be provided.

Rode west from Ellensburg in September

September, 2023 by slseger

We rented a car one way to Ellensburg with two bikes. Only option was Enterprise and it worked great. Trail started close to downtown. While we had a headwind on day one it made day two easy with considerable downhill. Towns especially Cle Elum were fun to visit. Excellent camping along the trail and bathroom facilities are abundant. While we did the ride in two days, recommend slowing down a bit and doing thee days of riding. Do this ride!

Lower Yakima Valley Pathway

disappointing

July, 2023 by bethredeker1

This trail had large cracks in many many areas and it abruptly turned into the city streets which were very gravelly and rough. It turned back into the path where not too far on it, there was a woman using drugs. The area off the path (Grandview) was very rough and sketchy. This was the area we saw the woman using drugs. We were very disappointed.

Great American Rail-Trail

Great Allegheny Trail southeast of Pittsburgh?

April, 2023 by eshawger

Surprised to see this amazing trail that has great bed and breakfasts along it is not noted as part of the Great American Rail Trail. It sure would help demonstrate more GART completion if it was.

Keene Road Trail

beautiful trail to skate

January, 2023 by dkdreamin77

This was a great find! I was originally going to skate the sacajawea trail but I've i saw it, it was pretty rough and not very flat in places so i looked for another. I find this one which mostly goes along Keene road but was fun to skate anyway. It was smooth, and very clean! The only thing i can complain about is the bumpy yellow intersection plates at the crosswalks! But they are doable -just aaannoying.annoyingenjoyed
