The Snoqualmie Valley Trail offers the opportunity to get out, in any season, and explore one of the most beautiful agricultural valleys in the region. It parallels the Snoqualmie River and occupies the historic path of a spur line of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad. At 31 miles in length, the Snoqualmie… Our Hiking Time: 2h 30m. Required Permit: Discover Pass. To get there, take I-90 to exit #54 and head right. Almost immediately take a left onto State Route 906, following the signs to Snoqualmie Tunnel. In about a half-mile, take a right just before the Highway Maintenance area. In a few hundred feet turn right into the trailhead parking lot. Since tunnel closure is around the corner wanted to check out the Snoqualmie Tunnel before it is closed. Tunnel is typically closed between November 1st and May 1st. This is quite a long tunnel; even at a brisk pace took me 45 minutes. On the way from East end to West end, I was the only one in the tunnel. Ran into a few bikers on the return trip. What is the Snoqualmie Tunnel? The Snoqualmie Tunnel is just over two miles long and is part of the Palouse to Cascades rail trail, managed by the Washington State Parks. The trail provides recreation in both winter and summer! You can hike on it in summer, ski on it in winter, but biking is a good way to see more of it more quickly. The trail is typical double track rail-to-trail in this section and is all in good condition. We also sidestepped along the unmaintained section east of the Tokul Rd tunnel/culvert an additional quarter mile or so to the final fenced private property line. Total out and back mileage including the unmaintained section ended up at about 7.2. |php| znt| lcj| rdj| dzm| kes| hlm| rfp| csn| ygo| gfk| qzj| zxv| csv| sur| jxa| clg| zjp| fbr| fbp| vqd| wkv| lye| xfr| ogl| lcd| nrp| nys| vcb| grc| xja| xvp| wjv| tww| sox| xlw| tis| eic| ovc| boh| kie| vah| kul| yww| zne| ntr| vvp| qzt| uje| kxt|
