Pacific Coast North

If you’ve got two and a half weeks to spend on a bike, there’s no better spot on earth than the Pacific Northwest section of Adventure Cycling’s Pacific Coast Route. 

Starting in Bellingham, Washington, we’ll zip up to the Canadian border before starting our trip south along Puget Sound, heading toward the mountainous, heavily timbered Olympic Peninsula, where we’ll ride up Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park and stay at the Sol Duc Hot Springs. From there we’ll cross the Columbia River into Astoria, Oregon, and then proceed down the Oregon coast, dazzled for 200 miles by the sights, sounds, and scents of the Pacific Ocean. We’ll enjoy some of the most pristine beaches and pleasant state parks in the U.S. before heading back inland to close out our ride in the bike-loving college town of Eugene.
