Comment on Route of the Hiawatha by Paul Lieberman

My friends and I rode this trail in 2005. We rented old mountain bikes at the ski area. It was very scenic with some amazing tresseles and tunnels. Lots of families with small kids so the riding is not hard. Well worth the trip.

I tried riding from the west May 5. I wanted to ski Alpental its’ closing weekend. Snow starting about Carter Creek, & more solid towards the tunnel, which was locked. The website I looked at said it should open “on or about” May 1st. If there is a parks website with a definitive yea\nay on the tunnel opening, I clearly missed it.
Short write up on my trip & pictures here:

Becky and I rode this one again today, 5/6/12. Vegitation control was excellent and graffitti was minimal, much better than on previous rides. Sunday morning traffic noise wasn’t too bad either.

We regularly enjoy the paved Sacramento River Trail in Redding, CA. Interest points along the path include the Turtle Bay Museum, the architecturally unique Sundial Bridge and beautiful Caldwell Park as well as the river itself.

We also ride the Bear Creek Trail in Oregon from Ashland, home of the Shakseperean (sp?) Festival, to Medford and on north to Central Point.

Let’s not get critical gang.
Any paved path in this part of the state is in our opinion a 5*.
Yes, it is along a highway, but it is paved, off road and connects 3 cities. What a great way to start your wine tasting.
We’re from Bend, OR and we loved it – we don’t have anything to compare it with and so we will ride again on our return.

The Burke-Gilman trail reconstruction through Lake Forest Park was completed a couple weeks ago. Sadly it makes the riding the rest of the trail a disappointment now. They did a magnificent job. If you never rode it before you wouldn’t appreciate it the way I do considering it’s part of my daily commute. It’s only 2 miles long but you’ll know when you get on it and when you get off it.

@Susan Ralph

Chances are you’ll never read this comment, Susan, but if you do… I too have taken the detour through Monarch Sculptor Garden. But hey, I am bias… my friend, Lucy Ryan scuplted “Moon Tan”, the latest (and gorgeous) scuplture on display there.

The flower and rock gardens and the little maze all add up to make the whole experience an excellent deviation from a hard day’s riding on those two wheels of mine :)
