About

We will pick you up in a comfortable shuttle from Downtown Seattle and drive to Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascade Mountains. When we are at the trailhead, we will fit you on a top-quality mountain bike, and provide you with a helmet, gloves and any other protective gear suitable for your safety and comfort on the trail. We will also ensure adequate snacks and water are in tow for the day’s adventures and head out.

We start our ride with some excitement: the 2.1-mile long, pitch-black Snoqualmie Tunnel (bike lights provided!). From there, our highly dynamic guides will lead you on a 20-mile, downhill ride, crossing giant trestle bridges, viewing spectacular waterfalls and scenic mountain vistas. Your ride finishes off at Rattlesnake Lake, a local favorite.

When the ride is complete, we have the option to celebrate your success with beers and bites at South Fork Event Center, located just below the lake. Afterwards, the guide will pack up gear and drive you back to your hotel.

Additionally, while riding with Seattle MTB Tours, any photos your guide takes will be made available after the tour.
