3 hours of sun, rain, thunder, a freezing tunnel, a bear, 2 elk, waterfalls, creeks and bridges. Our afternoon of biking 32 miles turned out to be a mini-adventure filled with firsts.
We saw our first Washington bear, our first Washington elk, but the coolest first was the ride in the tunnel. The part of the trail we biked is just part of the Iron Horse trail that extends to the border of Washington/Idaho. The 2.3 mile tunnel is the nation's longest tunnel open to non-motorized traffic. Some trivia: the Snoqualmie tunnel was built between 1908 and 1911 for the longest electric railroad in the world that operated for over 70 years. Ain't that somethin' else!
