Iron Horse State Park, Rail trail in Cascade Mountains, Washington
The Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail extends 300 miles from the Cascade Mountains to the Idaho border through diverse landscapes and geological formations.
Following the former Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad track, the trail transformed into a recreational path after railway decommission in 1980.
The path received its initial name from the John Wayne Pioneer Wagons and Riders Association, which organized annual horse and wagon rides across Washington.
Multiple trailheads provide access points with modern facilities, while the Snoqualmie Tunnel requires visitors to bring strong lights for safe passage.
The trail incorporates six railroad tunnels, including the Snoqualmie Tunnel measuring 11,894 feet, making it the longest trail tunnel worldwide.
