カスケード山脈でののおすすめグラベルライド

While mountain bikers can ride to Sun Top via the Sun Top Trail, if you prefer another way to challenge yourself, you can take Forest Road 7315—a gravel road with gentler curves that climbs to the top, offering a rewarding adventure with great views. The road is typically open to vehicle and bike traffic from late spring through early fall—usually from around May to September—but the gate at the summit may be closed outside these months or when parking is full. It's best to check current road conditions with the U.S. Forest Service before heading out.

Great viewpoint with a wonderful view onto Mount Rainier. There is a small cabin at the top, which you can go into to get out of the wind or cold.

Klapatchie Point is the end of Westside Road. The road is narrow, paved, but lightly maintained, winding through forest in Mount Rainier National Park. It has some rough patches and limited pullouts, and is open only to bikers and hikers. Klapatchie Point is a perfect place to end your ride, with views over the forest and mountains.

Here you’ll find an open area along Westside Road, perfect for a snack break. Plenty of shade is provided by the surrounding forest.

The Historic Snoqualmie Depot, part of the National Register of Historic Places, is Washington's longest operating train depot. The museum features railroad history exhibits and a lovely bookstore and gift shop. It is free to visit and open 7 days a week (closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day).

The South Fork Snoqualmie River begins near Snoqualmie Pass and flows for over 30 miles before merging with the main Snoqualmie River in North Bend.

Enjoy the views of Meadowbrook Slough, actually an oxbow lake surrounded by wetlands.

Alice Creek Campground is right at the trailhead for the CDT. It’s free, first-come-first-served, with basic sites, a vault toilet, and access to some great hiking or riding. Bring bear spray and be prepare for the gravel road.
