3.Biking is an amazing family activity,but finding a route that can accommodate a wide-range of ages can be a challenge.
Lee McNeil and his family are crazy about biking.They have seven children,from 4to 24years old.When looking for a route,they look for enough protection from traffic,good surface condition,easy access and interesting views.
With that in mind,here are some great routes for biking with your whole family,as are suggested by McNeil.
Iron Horse Trail
This is the McNeil family's favourite ride.The route is 26 miles and goes through the 2.l mile Snoqualmie Tunnel.
"Beautiful views,the thrill the tunnel,and places to stop and watch the rock climbers make it special,"McNeil said."All our kids have taken their turn at braving the black tunnel bravely for the first time,which we celebrate it at the end of the ride."

Centennial Trail
The Centennial Trail runs for 23miles from Snohomish to Bryant.The trail is wide and smooth,and is safe for kids as it is off the roads.A nice stop is Lake Cassidy east of Marysville.A dock on the lake is fun to explore.It also has picnic tables and washrooms for a convenient lunch time stop.
How to get there:The trail can be accessed from a number of trailheads.For a map,go to http://bit.ly/L5qCeY.
Cascade Trail
The Cascade Trail follows an abandoned Burlington Northern railroad grade for 23miles between Sedro-Woolley and Concrete.Because it's on a railroad grade,the slope is gentle and it makes for an easy family ride.
McNeil said it is a"beautiful ride up the Skagit Valley,with lots of places to watch wildlife along the river."
