Trail goes alongside one of the many old retaining walls where the snowsheds were built to protect the tracks from avalanches.
Lots of Columbine in bloom along this trail
Taking a peek into one of the old tunnels along the way
A restored bridge carries you easily across a deep ravine on the mountainside
Lots of interpretive signage helps you learn the railroad history
Hiking through a short tunnel on the Lower Grade
Vista points were frequent, allowing glimpses of the forested valleys
At the Martin Creek Trailhead, having a break before the 3 mile trek back to our starting point.
Plaques at the Martin Creek Trailhead honoring those who helped create these wonderful trails.
A damaged bridge railing caused by avalanches from last winter
Even a tiny bit of snow and debris remained here, evidence of past avalanches
