Remember the TV show "Twin Peaks"?... 0435

Trike ride on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail (August 5, 2013) view map


My recumbent trike stands on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail in central North Bend, Washington. The Snoqualmie Valley Trail is the former corridor of a branch line of The Milwaukee Road. This is about 25 miles east-southeast of Seattle along I-90. The mountain in the background is Mt. Si.

Mt. Si appeared in the opening scene of the TV show “Twin Peaks.” That scene had a country road and a “Welcome to Twin Peaks” sign. Most of the exterior shots for the first season of "Twin Peaks" were shot in and around North Bend.

A hiking trail leads almost to Mt. Si’s summit and a short scrambling route leads to the very top. Great views from up there. The Mt. Si Trail used to be and perhaps still is, the most-often-used trail in Washington.

My Nikon D80 is visible just in front of the ribbon flags. It's mounted via a RAM mount on the end of a board that was strapped to the frame of the trike's seat. As I cycled, I tripped the shutter with my infrared remote transmitter. Several D80 shots were blurry because of the vibration transmitted to the camera from the trike.

Photographed with my iPhone.
