This tour begins riding north along the Pend Oreille River, which drains from Lake Pend Oreille, flowing north and joining the Columbia River at the Canadian border. Our senses are filled with pine from the Kaniksu National Forest on both sides, the river and riding Tiger Pass with its twisties makes the ride fun and beautiful! We ride on through Colville National Forest and cross the Columbia River at Kettle Falls.

We ride through sprawling ranch country and we’ll see classic sagebrush covered western hill country to awesome Sherman pass! At Winthrop we’ll find a re-created frontier town with old west facades, wooden sidewalks, and great little novelty shops! Our next day finds us in the northern Cascades, known as the American Alps! Riding beautiful mountain passes such as Washington Pass at 5477 ft, the highest on the North Cascades Hwy. We’ll have a stunning panoramic view of the Cascade Mountain peaks, truly a memorable sight!
At Rainy Pass we cross the Pacific Crest National Trail, the famous foot trail from Mexico to Canada! Our ride continues with still more beauty with views of Diablo Lake, 242 ft Gorge Creek Falls, and Ross Lake National Recreation Area, which is part of North Cascades National Park. The Skagit River, a federally designated Wild and Scenic River, roars through rocky gorges and is an excellent area to view bald eagles due to the Skagit chum salmon in the river! From here we enter the Skagit River Valley, a mosaic of orchards, farms, and low mountains edged in thick evergreens! Stevens Pass Scenic Byway follows a trail blazed by the Great Northern Railway and runs from Puget Sound through the rugged forested Cascades to the eastern slope!
We’ll ride alongside the Skykomish River with Mount Index rising in the south. Stevens Pass at 4,061 ft is home to a ski area and lies between Henry M. Jackson Wilderness Area and Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area. Riding through historic towns, the Wenatchee National Forest and the heart of Washington’s apple country, we finish this ride through the wheat fields of Washington!
