Major Local Rides
Here are some local-to-Snoqualmie Valley rides presented in Strava’s Fatmap app. I thought it was a cool way to display them, but they are a little slow to load.
SVT – SnoValley Trail
This is a very popular gravel trail that runs about 30 miles from Duvall to North Bend, but has a missing section in Snoqualmie that has to be navigated.
Palouse to Cascades Trail (AKA Iron Horse Trail, John Wayne Trail)
This is another very popular gravel trail that starts at Rattlesnake Lake in North Bend where the SVT ends. This trail runs all the way across Washington, which is pretty awesome.

Vicious Cycle Gran Fondos
Here are the aptly named backcountry gran fondos that are super popular in Washington.
Campbell Global (Snoqualmie) tree farm
This is a very popular and nearly 100,000 acre tree farm chock full of the gravel goods, a true gem in the middle of everything.
