4. The San Juan Islands, Washington, USA
Island hopping with a difference, Washington’s San Juan Islands each offer a different level of difficulty and their own unique beauty for cyclists to explore. Each island is hilly and has its fair share of narrow, winding, shoulderless roads.
Lopez Island is the least technical and can easily be cycled in a day. For something slightly more challenging, San Juan island offers 43 miles of picturesque trails which can also be completed in a day or spread out over two if you factor in some beach time too.
Orcas Island is for the most experienced mountain bikers. For those daring enough, a ride to the top of Mount Constitution at 2,409 feet will reward you with a stunning panorama of the islands.
