Biking Main Street to the Mountains

When is the best time to ride in the Walla Walla Valley?

When winter hasn’t quite relinquished to spring at higherelevations. When the Dogwoods are blooming and the alkali bees are coming out of hibernation. When the promise of summer’s heat yields the opportunity to watch the sunrise over the Blue Mountains. When fall’s crisp air and longshadows reveal the patterns of summer’s harvest.

When people ask us when to ride the Walla Walla Valley, ouranswer is simple–the time is always now.

Local Routes by Local Riders

Since the Outside Walla Walla team is not known as seasonedcyclists, we are grateful for our expert friends who are willing to lend a helping hand. Through collaborations like these, we are working to build a community database of outdoor recreation, offering a little something for everyone.

We’ve narrated a few routes and cataloged them by area oftown, introducing the outfitter or local group who designed the ride. Check out this growing collection on our Road Routes and Gravel Roads pages.

Please spend a little time digging into this compilation ofinformation. There is a lot to cover, and we want you to have a great ride. No matter which direction you choose, adventure awaits.
