Description: We will try this again and hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate - Join us as we return to a Rails to Trails adventure and ride the crushed rock rail bed of the former Great Northern Railway. This is a beautiful ride with plenty of nature and even a heard of buffalo.
Pace and Route: This will be an easy to social pace (10-13 mph) ride. We will start the ride from the Concrete Community Center and ride to Lyman and return. We will need to be on the North Cascade Highway for a very short distance just prior to the Baker Lake Road and we will cross the highway at another point. Additionally, there are driveways and side roads that intersect the trail that riders will have to watch for. We will discuss this at the start of the ride.
Please make sure you have a good flat repair kit/tube with you. There are no services on the trail so make sure you have enough water and munchies to meet your needs.
