- Ideal for exploring at a relaxed pace, on easy terrain
- Covers 40 rail-trails throughout Washington state, hundreds of miles in all
- Ideally suited for walkers, bicyclists, equestrians, joggers, skaters, cross-country skiers, and even the physically challenged
Looking for new ways to enjoy Washington's great outdoors? Have you had it with mountainsides of endless switchbacks? If exploring at a different pace on easier terrain is more your style, Washington's Rail-Trails: Walking - Running - Bicycling - In-Line Skating - Horseback Riding has what you're looking for.
Washington's Rail-Trails: Walking - Running - Bicycling - In-Line Skating - Horseback Riding is the first in-depth guide to all of the rail-trails currently open in Washington State. Walkers, bicyclists, equestrians, joggers, in-line skaters, cross-country skiers, and even the physically challenged can enjoy hundreds of miles of flat, safe, ready-made pathways perfectly suited for non-motorized activities. These converted abandoned railways, whose tracks and ties departed with the decline of railroading, connect towns and suburbs as they wind through some of Washington's prettiest countryside. In-city trails, such as the Burke-Gilman Trail, pave the way for commuters to walk and bike to work each day.
The 40 rail-trails represented here are broken down into three regions, covering all kinds of territory. The Northwest area's 12 rail-trails include the Old Robe Historic Trail, Snoqualmie Pass Trail, and the Snohomish-Arlington Centennial Trail. Highlighting the Puget Sound area are the Preston-Snoqualmie and the King County Interurban Trail. Eastern Washington offers the Iron Horse State Park and Spokane River Centennial Trails, plus 9 more. Trail descriptions, accompanied by maps and photos, include complete information on length, surface, entry and endpoints, trail managers, restrictions, safety, and etiquette.
A leader in rail-trail development, Washington State has long recognized the advantages of these "linear parks." Author Fred Wert presents an in-depth look at railroad history, the recreational, historic, and economic importance of rail-trails, and how citizens can get involved to develop, promote, and protect new and existing trails.
Whether you are walking, riding, running, or rolling,Washington's Rail-Trails: Walking - Running - Bicycling - In-Line Skating - Horseback Riding will be a constant companion for rewarding outdoor experiences.
