The trail crosses the Susan River 11 times on massive steel and wood
trestles, one spanning 270 feet at a height 70 feet above the river.
Cyclists find a special thrill pedaling through the cool darkness of two
railroad tunnels, blasted through the rock of the Susan River Canyon in
1914.
There are several trailheads, allowing for excursions ranging from a
mile or less to the entire length of the route. Upper reaches of the trail
provide excellent cross country skiing, and the extreme western end of the
trail is open to snowmobiles.
