Cycling

Pedal Power OR Free Wheeling

The Tri-Cities has long been an outdoor enthusiast’s best-kept secret but is now emerging as a premier southeastern Washington cycling destination. With free-flowing, congestion-free roads, paved paths, and rugged trails through open country, the region offers a diverse range of experiences for cyclists of every level—from riding through serene vineyards and scaling mountain roads to cruising along riverfront trails.

For those looking to explore without the need to bring their own bike, rentals are available at Greenies.

Road Cycling

Pedal riverside and take in expansive views across the basin, exploring the 67 miles of paved trails. Take the kids for a meandering ride around Kennewick’s Clover Island, or if you’re feeling intrepid, cross the causeway and pick up the 23-mile Sacagawea Heritage Trail to experience the Tri-Cities shore to shore. Cross the river and ride to Sacajawea State Park and check out the interpretive center, or branch off at the Interstate 182 Bridge and venture further upstream where the trail runs out at the USS Triton Sail Park, where you can discover a Cold War-era submarine conning tower.

Mountain Biking

Adventure awaits mountain bikers. Check out State Patrol Trails, a TK-trail network in south Kennewick with many moderate-to-challenging routes featuring appealing terrain elements. Or log some mileage on the slopes of Rattlesnake Mountain northwest of West Richland toward Hanford Reach. In the Badger Mountain Trail System, discover the Skyline Trail’s unparalleled views of Tri-Cities and the greater Columbia Basin. In town, try Chamna Natural Preserve’s grassy Peninsula Loop or trek over to uninhabited Bateman Island for chance encounters with riverine wildlife. Outside of town, try White Bluffs, Juniper Dunes Wilderness or Wallula Gap for a more rugged experience of the region’s signature sagebrush steppe habitat and abundant wildflowers in spring.

For the most daring riders, a trip to White Bluffs rewards you with a challenging summit and breathtaking views of the Hanford Reach National Monument and the Manhattan Project National Historical Park.

Bike Races

Meet your competitive edge—or spectate—at the IRONMAN 70.3 Washington Tri-Cities triathlon in September; and in May, check out the Rage in the Sage Duathlon, a 2.5-mile run with a 10-mile mountain bike leg on the gorgeous Kiona Vineyards and Winery grounds in Benton City. Youth ages 7–12 can join the Titanium Man Junior Triathlon. Also in May, the Inland Empire Century provides ride options ranging from 25 to 100 miles, catering to various cycling enthusiasts.
