Tumwater Pipeline Trail — Sunday, Jul. 1, 2012

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East
old rail bed
A good leg stretcher with some interesting railroad history behind it. Driving east to dry out, we decided to take this little walk. The small dam was built to supply electricity to trains entering the long tunnel, since they couldn't burn fuel in the tunnel. Cross the pedestrian bridge and walk along the old track. Some of the old spikes can still be seen. The trail abruptly ends by a big pile of rocks. The river is very swift now, and as a reminder, there is a memorial cross to two people who drowned here.
