Road bikers will find plenty of interesting paved on- and off-road riding in the Yakima area. For cyclists looking to limit interactions with cars, the Yakima Greenway is the place. The 20+ mile long trail is entirely off-road (other than a well-protected highway crossing) and is optimized for cyclists. There are many places to park and access the Yakima Greenway, allowing for varied length out-and back rides. has all the info on the path.
π‘ IHY WISDOM: We like to park behind McIlrath Family Farms at 10 Old Naches Hwy, Yakima, WA 98908, eat breakfast at Suntides Golf Course before heading out, and then head out in either direction. If the season is right, you can pick up all the local goods for your next meal from McIlrath after your ride!
