Routes / Re: Neah Bay to Port Angeles

Thank you for your helpful observations, John and Jamawani.

It's very fun planning this. From Port Angeles east, it looks like much of the way is along the Olympic Discovery trail, with a few winding road segments interspersed. From Port Townsend, I ferry to Whidbey Island, then ride south to Clinton where I catch another ferry into Mukilteo. After a short ride from there, I connect with the Interurban Trail into Seattle and the bike trails running east to Snoqualmie Pass -- which seems like a good end to part one of this adventure.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Routes / Neah Bay to Port Angeles

« on: November 28, 2021, 06:55:51 pm »

Hello. I have the thought of (sort of) riding cross country -- but in bits and pieces, with a few 300-500 mile segments a year. Fun, zero pressure. I won't necessarily pick up where I last left off. Just looking for interesting and sensible routes that generally span the US. A big plan, but I am sort of stuck on the very first part. I'd like to start out in Neah Bay, WA.  Google maps shows WA Route 112 as a bike route from there into Port Angeles, but I can't tell if it's a safe highway to bike on and, if not, whether there are better alternatives. Are any of you familiar with that area enough to comment? Thanks!
