My neighborhood borders the Snoqualmie Valley Regional Trail. This morning I rode down a couple of blocks from my home and accessed the trail. This time I turned right,

And rode on up to Rattlesnake lake where I turned left onto the John Wayne Trail and headed East twords Snoqualmie Pass. The trail skirts the hillside above Interstate 90 heading to Snoqualmie Pass.

There were a lot of hikers and horseback riders on the trail but few bike riders. The farther east I went the less crowded it got. Maybe I’d see someone every 15 minutes or so. I stopped at one point just because this tiny waterfall looked so beautiful.

This has been an “El Nino” year here in the PNW which means we get very little snow. So little this yea, that I was able to ride all the way to the Snoqualmie tunnel which runs underneath Snoqualmie Pass. This is highly unusual, dry as a bone. there should be 5 or 6 feet of snow here at this time of the year.

In all, a very nice ride. over 50 miles all gravel, no cars.
