For several months now we've been planning an epic summer pedal. The original plan was to bike to Banff via the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, but then we realized a "muti-use path," in Canada includes numerous ATVs. No thanks. Our next plan was to bike to Spokane via the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, but there was a bit of red tape involved with the East side of things (figures!), and nowhere but a shoulderless bridge on 1-90 for crossing the Columbia. Again, no thanks. Finally, we figured out a sound plan that involved a 400 mile round trip ride.
This trip, like the others we had begun to plan, started and ended at home. Additionally, our voyage featured approximately 120 miles of trail (each way), a 2.3 mile tunnel through Snoqualmie Pass, and a stay at a Forest Service cabin on the beautiful Teanaway River near Cle Elum, WA.
