Description

The Morse Creek Bridge – Stunning View of Water loop from Port Angeles East is an easy 11.1-mile (17.8 km) mountain biking route with a gentle 586 feet (179 metres) of elevation gain, taking just over an hour. If you're looking for a relaxed ride with incredible coastal views rather than a technical challenge, this paved section of the Olympic Discovery Trail is a perfect choice for families and touring cyclists.

What to expect on Morse Creek Bridge – Stunning View of Water loop from Port Angeles East

Expect a smooth ride along the paved Olympic Discovery Trail, where the terrain is mostly flat with only gentle inclines thanks to its old railroad grade. The highlight is undoubtedly the expansive scenery; you'll pass the iconic wooden Morse Creek Bridge and enjoy continuous views of the Port Angeles waterfront, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the majestic Olympic Mountains. On a clear day, you can even spot Ediz Spit, Striped Peak, Victoria, and Mount Baker. This route is ideal if you want a high-payoff, accessible ride with stunning coastal vistas, rather than a rugged mountain biking adventure.

Planning your visit

The trail seamlessly connects to downtown Port Angeles, making it easy to access amenities, shops, and dining options before or after your ride. Parking is generally available near the trailhead, but arriving earlier in the day is always a good idea, especially on weekends. This route is enjoyable year-round, but clear days offer the best visibility for those stunning water and mountain views.
