Just off the main trail. Great photos of the creek and forest to be taken from mid-span!

The Foothills Trail is a mostly paved 21-mile path from Puyallup toward Mount Rainier, perfect for walking, biking, and horseback riding. Enjoy views of Mount Rainier, wildlife, and historic sites like Melmont ghost town. Multiple access points make it easy to explore sections at your pace.

Dash Point State Park is a great spot to add some variety to your ride. While the park’s 11 miles of trails are mostly for hiking, you can roll through the campground roads and explore the day-use areas. With over 3,000 feet of saltwater shoreline, it’s also a popular place to take a break by the water. If you’re planning a longer trip, there are cabins and campsites available too.

Near this spot on the Sumner Link Trail, just south of Tacoma Ave, there are a few picnic tables just off the trail and you're quite close to the White River. This is a nice spot to stop as you ride around the area.

Des Moines Creek Trail winds through a lush greenbelt in Washington, offering a peaceful path for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Shaded by evergreens and tracing the creek to the Puget Sound, it's a local favorite for a quiet escape into nature.

Love this bridge. Would love it more if the trail actually crossed over the old broken bridge just one tenth of a mile farther north...
