Accessibility

With the right equipment, such as adaptive bicycles, the Pullman Trail and paved roads remain accessible for cycling. The paved roads are wide, but maintain a successive incline all the way to the top for at least a mile. Always use caution when cycling near traffic.

Pets

No — Pets must be kept on a leash; with the high traffic conditions of the roads and the bumpy nature of the Pullman Trail, pets accompanying their owners on bike rides not recommended, although it is allowed.

Reservations

No

Age Info

Biking is open to all ages, but given the difficulty of the terrain on the Pullman Trail and the hgh traffic use of the paved roads around the park, we suggest those only 12 and older, or those who are comfortable under those conditions ride their bikes in the park.
