Washington's Rail-Trails : Walking - Running - Bicycling - In-Line Skating - Horseback Riding
By : Fred Wert
This book 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.

Eastern Washington offers the Iron Horse State Park and Spokane River Centennial Trails, plus 9 more....
