To bike through the Snoqualmie Tunnel on your own you can start at the Hyak trailhead for a shorter ride, approximately five miles long or you can start at Olallie state park for a longer ride approximately thirteen miles long. Both routes offer parking at the trailhead, scenic views of the Snoqualmie Valley, picnic tables at the end of the tunnel and gorgeous views of the Cascade Mountains.
