Across the country, more than 1600 unused railroad corridors have been
converted to level, public, multiuse trails, where people can enjoy a
fitness run, a leisurely bike ride, or a stroll with the family. In this
new guide in the popular series, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy
presents the Northwest region's finest rail-trails plus other great
multiuse trails.
Rail-Trails Washington & Oregon includes detailed coverage of more
than 40 great trails. Many rail-trails are paved and run through the
most scenic parts of town. Others travel along dense forests, open
fields, and lush waterways. Some explore the area's history, and others
help users enjoy the serenity of the rural countryside.
Favorites noted by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy staff include the
Chehalis Western Trail and Olympic Discovery Trail in Washington and the
Banks-Vernonia State Trail in Oregon.
This full-color book includes succinct descriptions of each trail from
start to finish, plus at-a-glance summary information indicating
permitted uses, surface type, length, and directions to trailheads for
each trail. Every trip has a detailed map that includes start and end
points, trailhead, parking, restroom facilities, and other amenities.
