| Ride Description: |
| The Snoqualmie Tunnel is open, so LIGHTS and a jacket are required through the tunnel. Let's enjoy a fun off-road ride with beautiful views. We will meet in the Iron Horse State Park parking area near the bathrooms, ride the soft surface Iron Horse Trail up a 2% grade for 19 miles, through the 2.3-mile long Snoqualmie Tunnel, have lunch at Hyak, then return to the parking lot. Leave your carbon road bikes at home -- you'll want a touring, mountain, cross or hybrid bike with fat, low pressure tires. The tunnel is dark, wet, and cold; so lights and jackets are necessities, and fenders are a good idea. Bring food and minimum of TWO LARGE WATER BOTTLES, or a 2-3 liter hydration pack. The only water source on the ride is at the Hyak Trailhead. NOTE: This is an off-road ride; effort level will be similar to pace and distance on the road. DIRECTIONS TO START: take I-90 to Exit 32; go south on 436th Avenue SE, turning into Cedar Falls Road SE; follow this main road 3.1 miles. For free parking follow the signs to the Rattlesnake Lake parking. To be closer, go to the Iron Horse State Trail parking, which requires a Discover Pass. |
