MAX to Banks-Vernonia trail

A cycling route starting in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States of America.

Overview

About this route

1

This is a (non-direct) route from the end of the MAX line in Hillsboro to Vernonia.  We did the ride over the course of 3 days, with stops to drink wine and swim in the rivers, with camping at Stub Stewar state park both nights.

The return trip isn't shown here. There a few ways to do it, but we choose to take Hwy 47 and visit the Sake Brewery in Forest grove before returning to Portland on the MAX.

The route does have some dirt roads, so a rugged road bike is recommended. The first 2 climbs can be easily avoided, but they provide some good scenery and of course, wine to drink.
