Scenic Bike Adventures
Experience the Central Cascades in a whole new way this summer.
Rent & Ride
Rent a bike and ride one of two beautiful routes from Snoqualmie Pass on the Palouse to Cascades Trail. We provide a shuttle to and from the trailhead, making it easy to just enjoy the adventure.
Choose the ride option that works best for your group and schedule. Both rides are great for families with kids ages 8 and up.
Already have a bike? You can book our shuttle from Rattlesnake Lake separately.

Summit to Rattlesnake Lake Ride
Along the way, you'll pass through the famous Snoqualmie Tunnel - a 2.1 mile long decommissioned railroad tunnel, then take in beautiful views of nearby peaks, cross historic trestle bridges, and see old snowsheds. The best part is that this one-way ride is almost entirely downhill, and our shuttle service brings you back to Silver Fir Lodge.
This route can take 2.5-3 hours, depending on your group’s pace and how often you stop. It's approximately 21 miles.
Shuttle Only Option
Want to use your own bike on the Summit to Rattlesnake ride? No problem! You can book our shuttle service separately in our online store.
Shuttle service to the trailhead departs from Silver Fir Lodge at 10:30am sharp. The shuttle picks riders up at Rattlesnake Lake at 1:45pm.
Keechelus Lake Ride
Ride through mountain forests, alongside Lake Keechelus, and enjoy stunning views on the East side of Snoqualmie Pass via the Palouse to Cascades Trail. This relaxed ride is perfect for riders looking to explore the beauty of the Cascades at their own pace. The trail on this side of the mountains is relatively flat with no significant elevation change.
This route requires riding back to the trailhead to get picked up.
