This route covers 7.4 miles (11.9 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 491 feet (150 metres), making it a perfect ride for about 45 minutes. As you pedal, you will pass through Discovery Park, a century-old green space, and enjoy expansive vistas of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, especially from the Magnolia Boulevard Scenic Viewpoint. You will also cycle along the waterfront, catching glimpses of the Seattle cityscape and the historic West Point Lighthouse.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as the Magnolia Loop is accessible year-round, offering flexibility for your cycling adventures. You can easily access the route from various points, including Seattle's Pike Place Market, making it convenient to start your ride. For the best experience, consider using road bike tires with a width of 23 millimeters or more; this will help you navigate the varied paved surfaces comfortably.
This touring bicycle route offers a unique blend of urban and natural environments, setting it apart from many city rides. It provides a refreshing escape where you can enjoy both the vibrant Seattle waterfront and the tranquility of a large park. The trail’s easy difficulty and relatively short duration make it an excellent option for a quick outing, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local scenery without committing to a full-day excursion.
