A few of our favorite family bike trails

One of our very favorite trails is the Banks Vernonia trail. Kate and Liam are big enough to both ride on a trailer bike, and Jacob and Claire have bikes with gears, and Jared tows Torin behind his trailer bike, so we can add a little distance now.

The Banks Vernonia trail is a converted rail line, so its slope and turns are gradual. One of our favorite places on the trail is a long curving wooden tressel bridge. It is pretty high above the floor below, so it gives good views and is just fun to ride on. We make sure that we ride on it each time we are on the trail.


While Jared has the best individual road bike setup, the entire bike train is a perfect challenge for him.

Another of our favorite places to go is along the Columbia River between the airport and the river. The only hill it has is when the trail shifts from the top of the berm to the river side of the berm. The views are beautiful and are highlighted by regular flight take offs and landings.
