The John Wayne Wagons and Riders Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the Palouse to Cascades Trail in Washington State. The trail is over 200 miles long and provides a unique opportunity for recreation.

The Palouse to Cascades trail has now become connected to the “Great American Rails To Trails” that will eventually cross the entire United States in one continuous trail. The trail is flat as it follows the paths of the former rail way lines with very slight grade. Picture yourself … riding across the entire country on a safe, seamless and scenic pathway—or walking a local trail that connects along historic routes. Imagine the incomparable experience of exploring America’s heritage by trail—its potential, its beauty and bounty, its people and places. Consider the economic opportunities and the benefits for communities along the route of a multi use trail that stretches more than 3,700 miles between Washington and Washington.

Our club is made up primarily of horseback riders and teamsters, but we welcome walkers and cyclists. We sponsor a two week trip across Washington each spring. Followed up by a Fall Ride in September.
