The Foothills Trail is a mostly paved 21-mile path from Puyallup toward Mount Rainier, perfect for walking, biking, and horseback riding. Enjoy views of Mount Rainier, wildlife, and historic sites like Melmont ghost town. Multiple access points make it easy to explore sections at your pace.

Near this spot on the Sumner Link Trail, just south of Tacoma Ave, there are a few picnic tables just off the trail and you're quite close to the White River. This is a nice spot to stop as you ride around the area.

Love this bridge. Would love it more if the trail actually crossed over the old broken bridge just one tenth of a mile farther north...

This is a fantastic viewpoint along the river, and the paved section of trail here is easily done on a road bike.

The Foothills Trail parallels the Carbon River for many miles, but your view is often obscured by foliage. Here you get a clear view of the river from the trail, as well as the verdant flora overhanging its banks.

This section of the Riverwalk Trail, a popular, paved multi-use trail, follows Puyallup River. This is a nice spot close to downtown Sumner, Washington, along the water. Although it's sometimes a little hard to see the river through the trees, it's still a great section of trail.
