Rode the Olympic Discovery Trail and Olympic Adventure trail from Port Townsend to La Push in Washington over 4 nights and 5 days.
We camped at Dungeness Campground, Olympic Adventure Campground, Fairholme, and Sequim Bay.
Around 25% of this route is beautiful single track or separated bike paths along the ocean, 50% is low traffic side streets and rural highways, and 25% is unpleasant riding along busy highway with little or no shoulder.
Easy to resupply along the way with grocery stores in Port Angeles and Forks.
Navigation is fairly straightforward. There are a decent number of trail signs along the way, although GPS maps are needed for some sections where it’s unclear where to rejoin the trail from the highway.
The Olympic Adventure Trail is a 25 mile section of single track we took 1 way on this trip. We managed it well with 40mm tires on our gravel bikes, although we had to walk a couple short sections of loose gravel that would have been easier on a mountain bike.

Did you ride Hwy 20 from Port Townsend to Discovery Bay? I rode that years ago with a BOB trailer and vowed to never do it again. Would love to see trail get developed for that stretch!
