Yakima Greenway

Road bikers will find plenty of interesting paved on- and off-road riding in the Yakima area. For cyclists looking to limit interactions with cars, the Yakima Greenway is the place. The 20+ mile long trail is entirely off-road (other than a well-protected highway crossing) and is optimized for cyclists. There are many places to park and access the Yakima Greenway, allowing for varied length out-and back rides. has all the info on the path.

💡 IHY WISDOM: We like to park behind McIlrath Family Farms at 10 Old Naches Hwy, Yakima, WA 98908, eat breakfast at Suntides Golf Course before heading out, and then head out in either direction. If the season is right, you can pick up all the local goods for your next meal from McIlrath after your ride!

For a uniquely Yakima ride, we highly recommend parking at Bale Breaker and riding a loop through the endless hop fields of the lower valley. At the end of your ride, savor a beer made with the same hops that surround you. Other popular rides start on either end of the valley in the towns of Naches, Moxee, and Tieton.

💡 IHY WISDOM: Check in with our friends at The Bearded Monkey or Revolution Cycles for local info on favorite rides and any gear you might need to get out there.]

Yakima Canyon

Yakima Canyon

The Yakima River Canyon is a stunning road that follows the meandering Yakima river between the towns of Ellensburg and Selah. The ride is iconic, but unfortunately the narrow 25-mile road does not feature a consistent bike-lane or shoulder. Generally, motorists are friendly and understanding, however we still recommend avoiding summer weekends when the canyon sees the most traffic.

💡 IHY WISDOM: For a completely traffic-free ride, check out the Your Canyon For a Day bike ride which is put on as a fundraiser for the Yakima County Crime Stoppers.
