Below are a list of great motorcycle routes. Some of these routes I've ridden myself and some have been contributed by others. The maps are interactive allowing you to pan, zoom, and switch between normal, satellite, and hybrid views. Rides marked with a icon are very technical or very long rides and not recommended for inexperienced riders. Ride times and distances are one-way so make sure you plan enough time to get there and back.

Use the controls on the left side of the map to pan or zoom. Double click on the map to recenter on the point you click on. Click on a marker to see more information or photos. The main route is always shown in red and alternate routes are shown in a different color.

Route	Alternate Routes	Distance	Ride Time1
3 Pass Blast [show route | show directions | download route] The 3 Pass Blast (also known as the "Quickie 250") takes you on a ride through Steven's, Blewett, and Snoqualmie passes. A great one day ride that has you stopping in Leavenworth for just in time for lunch. A good route for newer riders (use alternate routes for a less technical ride). Contributed by DrainFade.	Ben Howard Cutoff:   A little more interesting then US 2, riding on the south side of the river allows you to bypass Monroe and tackle a more technical road. Contributed by Vladimir   [show route | show directions]   Bypass Chumstick Highway:   Bypassing Chumstick Highway shaves about 15-30 minutes off the trip and makes the route less technical.   [show route]   Bypass Snoqualmie Falls:   Bypassing Snoqualmie falls shaves off a few minutes and makes the route a little less technical. Of course, you don't get to see the falls.   [show route | show directions]	260 miles	5 hrs, 40 min
Kamloops, BC - Route 1 [show route | show directions | download route] Nothing like a brisk ride through the cascades and into the Canadian wilderness to get the heart thumping. This route to Kamloops, BC takes you through the town of Winthrop just on the other side of the cascades and up past Apex mountain. This route has a little bit of everything: long high speed sweepers, medium speed twisties, a few tight curves for spice, and the occational bear ambling beside the road. CAUTION: When riding through 35 mph zone in Marblemount, do not exceed the speed limit as you will get a ticket. Contributed by DrainFade.		456 miles	9 hrs, 0 min
Kamloops, BC - Route 2 [show route | show directions | download route] Who said Whistler was a winter stop only? This route to Kamloops, BC takes you through Whistler village past the Whistler-Blackcomb mountains. This route has a little bit of everything: long high speed sweepers, medium speed twisties, a few tight curves for spice, and the occational bear ambling beside the road. Contributed by DrainFade.		452 miles	9 hrs, 15 min
Ocean Shores, WA [show route | show directions | download route] The ride to Ocean Shores is the perfect example of a sport-touring ride--taking the long way. Normally the most direct route to Ocean Shores would be about 150 miles (3 hrs, 15 min) but this ride is not about getting there fast. You start by taking a ride around the west side of Mt. Rainier though Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, Mt. Rainier National Park, and Gifford Pinchot National Forest. From there it is a ride over Mayfield Lake and scenic highway 6. Normally a 2 day ride, an overnight stop can be planned in Morton to make the distance paletable to newer riders or a wonderful 4 day trip.	Bypass FR-52:   Taking the more direct route will cut the trip down by an hour and avoid the more technical route down FR-52.   [show route | show directions]   Bypass Highway 410:   [-100 min, -46 mi] Bypass highway 169 and continue on highway 18. Take highway 167 south towards Puyallup. Take highway 7 south towards Mt. Rainier.   Bypass Highway 6:   [-50 min, -9 mi] Bypass highway 6 and continue on I-5 north. Take I-5 exit 88 to highway 12 east.	303 miles	8 hrs, 10 min
Windy Ridge, WA [show route | show directions | download route] Windy Ridge is a ride everyone must take. Not for the faint of heart, this ride features some very technical roads and breath taking scenery. The culmination of this ride is the ride up FR-99 and view at Windy Ridge where you can see Spirit Lake and the lava dome of Mt. St. Helens. Be prepared to pay a small fee at Windy Ridge that goes towards supporting the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. CAUTION: FR-99 can and usually does has washouts and gravel/rocks on the corners. If you wreck it is a very long drop and a long way from civilization.	FR-26 Cutoff:   Simular to FR-25, FR-26 is a technical road and you won't be disappointed. Be prepared for stretches of gravel. Definitely the way to go if you are riding a dual sport.   [show route]   Slab to Highway 12:   Depending on traffic, this can be the quickest way to get down to Windy Ridge but you don't get to see much on the way and you add almost 30 miles to the trip.   [show route]   Slab to Highway 7:   This alternate route can get you down to Windy Ridge a little faster depending on traffic but still allows you to ride all the good parts.   [show route]	172 miles	4 hrs, 10 min
Winthrop, WA [show route | show directions | download route] Winthrop is a old west town that features several great saloons and good ice cream. Winthrop is a favorite stop for riders and it is not uncommon to see quite a few bikes there. On the way to Winthrop, you will want to stop at several points in the trip and at the Washington Pass Overlook for some breath taking views. Lunch can be had at the Eatery Drive-In in Marblemount where you can dine amongst the plethera of semi-domesticated rabbits. This is a perfect 2 day ride for any new rider. CAUTION: When riding through 35 mph zone in Marblemount, do not exceed the speed limit as you will get a ticket.	Slab to Highway 20:   The most direct route to Winthrop can save you about 30-35 minutes. Although the view is not as nice, you do have some additional scenery and can be a good route to take on either the ride out or back.	184 miles	4 hrs, 40 min
