With its mix of dramatic mountain vistas, sparkling lakes, lush forests, and island coastlines, the Pacific Northwest is a spectacular region to explore by bike. On this tour, you cycle a blend of rail-trails, quiet forest roads, and rolling island routes — showcasing the incredible variety of landscapes from Olympic National Park to the San Juan Islands.
Your journey begins on the Olympic Discovery Trail, where you ride past rivers, farmland, and bays before reaching the shores of glacier-carved Lake Crescent. You’ll hike to waterfalls and pedal the Spruce Railroad Trail along the lakeshore, with restored tunnels and sweeping water views. From there, you take in alpine panoramas from Hurricane Ridge before continuing on to the Victorian seaport town of Port Townsend.
We will then ferry across the Salish Sea to San Juan Island. Here, you enjoy both a whale-watching cruise and scenic cycling past vineyards, lavender fields, and coastal bluffs. You’ll visit historic sites like English Camp, spin through the island’s rolling countryside, and pause at harborside villages. By the end of the week, you’ll have sampled the very best of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and island life — an unforgettable cycling experience filled with natural beauty, culture, and Pacific Northwest charm.
