Auburn-Black Diamond Road

This is a nice little road that’s on the back way home from work. It winds along the Green River in amongst the trees, and provides a nice getaway from the aggressive freeway traffic.

There’s no photos here, as the road doesn’t have much in the way of a view. It follows the river for the most part, but it’s rarely so close that there’s no trees in the way of a good view. Perhaps I might take a photo of this road from the Route 18 freeway on the other side of the river, which is farther up the ridgeline and has a rather nice view of this road.

This road dovetails rather nicely with some other roads in the area, including Hobart-Issaquah Road down into Ravensdale which if you continue south eventually takes you down into Black Diamond and just a few blocks from this road. If you take this road from East to West, it also has the intersection for Green Valley Road near the Route 18 exit.

    And be warned that Black Diamond is VERY strict about their speed limits…

    Great afternoon ride, I travel over to 169 then drop down into Enumclaw to Starbucks for a little break. I then usualy go west on 410 from Starbucks then along the west side of Lake Tapps back into Auburn. If you go north on 169 you can go up to 516 Kent/Des Moines Rd. Then left back into Covington, traffic is more hectic that way but still is a nice ride.
