Travel Info

For most racers, the most practical major airports are:

• Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
• Portland International Airport (PDX)

Travelmath lists SEA about 97 miles from Packwood and PDX about 141 miles from Packwood, with Seattle and Portland both functioning as viable major-airport gateways. 

• Seattle to Packwood: about 2 hr 16 min
• Portland to Packwood: about 2 hr 23 min to 2 hr 48 min depending on source/route 

• Flying in from outside the PNW: use SEA or PDX
• Need packraft rental: Seattle or Portland both work
• Need mountain bike rental: Seattle or Portland both work

Best overall race-weekend plan: land Thursday, pick up rental gear, drive to Packwood, race Friday–Sunday
