Who are we?
John Wayne Pioneer Wagons & Riders is dedicated to preserving and promoting the “Palouse to Cascades Trail”.
Every Spring we invite horse back riders, wagons, carts, and cyclists to come along and join us on the “Ride of a Lifetime” for our annual, fully supported, “Cross State Ride” that travels from west to east over 18 days on the “Palouse to Cascades Trail”.
Then in September we say goodbye to summer and “Ride into Fall with Friends”, for a ride that takes our group from East to West, on a 3-4 day trip in reverse of our spring ride. During this ride we get to experience 2 days of riding thru the beautiful Cascade Mountains and also experience the exhilarating 2.5 mile Snoqualmie tunnel. 2024 final itinerary TBD.
If you have participated on the Cross State Ride for a few days, as a white scarf recipient, as a teamster or a wagon passenger, a horse (or mule) back rider, bicyclist, a walker, if it’s your 1st Cross State Ride or your 41st, whether in the past, present, or in the future the club salutes you! YOU are the reason we have been able to continue to preserve our opportunity for public access to this very unique, absolutely phenomenal trail spanning across the State of Washington!
THANK YOU to each and every person who has contributed to showing how important it is to keep access to the entirety of this State Park Trail intact for future generations to come!
