The reason you don't see all the WA trails is that there are several pages. If you click on the "More trails" link, you'll see another page of trails in WA. The find feature only lets you choose one criterion at a time. Each one is an independent link to a page showing all the trails with that criterion. Sorry if it was confusing! --Jennifer Thanks for the suggestions!

Clearly work in progress, but you have a great start. A couple of minor comments: 1)Some of the WA state trails don't show up on the all WA trails, but I can find them within the website. I am sure some people miss some great trails because the marker doesn't show up on the top page sort. 2) On your find feature it would be nice to be able to check several criteria before the search starts. Currently the find feature seems to start when the first criteria is selected. Great website. Clearly work in progress, but you have a great start.

I lived in a shack on that track in the early 1970's. I walked much of it with a spike maul and rock rake. It was pristine country at that time. I recommend riding it. Take your time. Carry a lot of water. It is rattlesnake country. Fellow cyclists.

Got up to the mile 12 restroom and it started to rain. Another 10 miles in the rain wasn't interesting, so turned around and headed back down. That said, I did not see any notices about the the tunnel being closed.

In other words: nearly completely flat! Which is why I marked the trail as "flat" in the category section as well. :) --Jennifer You have to look at the scale on the left of the graph — the elevation varies from 28 to 88 feet of elevation, so there is a total of one 60 foot climb over the course of 10 miles.

The two trails have very little elevation change even if the above elevation graph looks like a mountain climb. Trail was in great shape, very clean (no flat tires) and was not heavily traveled on a gorgeous sunny autumn Saturday.
