Organizer: Troy Hopwood

The Cross-Washington Mountain Bike Route (XWA) is a 690 mile, mostly off-road bikepacking route from the Pacific Ocean to the Washington/Idaho border. The route features a mixture of singletrack, dirt roads, and a bit of pavement as it crosses the Evergreen State passing through an incredibly diverse array of landscapes and terrain.

Travelers along the route experience a variety of diverse landscapes and ecosystems. From one of the largest temperate rainforests full of moss-covered trees, to harsh landscapes from the glacial aftermath in the desert scablands, to urban route-finding at its best, the XWA has a little bit of everything. There are long climbs and grin-inducing descents, as well as epic mellow rail trails with ancient trestles… all accompanied by spectacular vistas at every corner.
