Rattlesnake Lake

The summer gravel populaire will be a 90% unpaved run on the Palouse to Cascades trail from Cle Elum to Hyak and back. While this section of the trail has ups and downs, overall its gradient averages under 0.1%. Odds are good for a tailwind on the return. Highlights are Lake Easton, Keechelus Lake, the Yakima River, and lots of forest. There are two tunnels, short enough you will not need lights. The trail surface is almost as good as the P2C on the west side of the Cascades. Wider tires will be more enjoyable, but the trail is doable on most any road tires.
