Thanks, Ian.
Some A-grade trails there, for sure.
Let me be immodest and give you my own recommendation: In 2016, I made a monthlong ride from just north of Jasper, Alberta, south through Waterton Lakes National Park to Montana, and then west to Washington state and the coast in the US. Most of that mileage was on public roads, rather than bike paths. But, I reckon the scenery was on a par with the ones in the Timeout link.

I have loved and truly enjoyed international travel by bicycle, but local fare stacks up pretty favorably in many ways if you are into more natural settings. I tend to go waaay off-piste, but these semi-formalized routes are a nice introduction to cycle-touring in the state of Oregon.
Best, Dan.

That’s a great read John. Really useful gear reviews too. Note to self: check my spokes. 👍
