Cedar Falls

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

All told, the remade rail line known as the Palouse to Cascades Trail — also known as the Iron Horse or John Wayne trails — contains more than 100 miles (161 km) of trail from Cedar Falls to the Columbia River, all in a state park that only measures 100 feet (30 m) in width.

This trail's very gentle grades make for pleasant hiking, and surprisingly beautiful views when the trees open up at magnificent trestle bridges. The trail is very popular with cyclists as well.

Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail is a long gravel route across Washington, great for bikepacking or long rides. The Snoqualmie Tunnel is a must—dark, damp, and fun (bring lights). Expect wind and remote stretches, so pack water and gear. Riding over trestles and through changing landscapes keeps things interesting the whole way.

Hall Creek Trestle

Highlight • Bridge

The Hall Creek Trestle is a historic steel and timber railway bridge built in 1912. It was once the old Milwaukee Road until, in 1988, a storm washed away a central 171-foot section of the bridge. In the 1990s, Washington State Parks restored the trestle, reconnecting the east and west segments of the former rail line, which is now part of the Palouse to Cascades (Iron Horse) Trail. The views down into Hall Creek Valley are genuinely stunning and worth the ride!
