Snoqualmie Tunnel Mountain Bike Tour

This tour starts with one of the most unique rides near Seattle—the 2.3-mile Snoqualmie Tunnel, ridden completely in the dark with bike lights. From there, the route opens up into a mostly downhill ride through the Cascade Mountains, following a former railroad line past trestle bridges, waterfalls, and wide-open views.

It’s a longer, scenic ride that focuses less on technical terrain and more on covering ground and experiencing the landscape.

What You’ll Experience

You’ll be picked up in Seattle and driven up to Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascade Mountains. At the trailhead, your guide will get you set up on a full-suspension mountain bike and provide a helmet, gloves, and any other gear needed for the ride. 

The ride finishes near Rattlesnake Lake before heading back to Seattle.
