Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail
Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail, National Recreation Trail in Washington, United States.
The Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail extends 287 miles across Washington state, connecting the Cascade Mountains to the Idaho border through varied terrains.
The trail follows the former Chicago-Milwaukee-St. Paul-Pacific Railroad line, which served as a major transportation route until its decommission in 1980.
Local communities along the trail organize annual events and group rides, continuing traditions established by the John Wayne Pioneer Wagons and Riders Association.
Visitors need a Discover Pass, which costs $30 annually or $10 daily, and winter activities require additional Sno-Park permits for designated areas.
The trail includes six railroad tunnels, with the Snoqualmie Tunnel stretching 11,894 feet through the mountain, offering a distinctive passage through the Cascades.
