From the official series of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, this is your comprehensive guide to walking, jogging, skating, and biking Washington and Oregon's rail-trail system. This easy-to-use book includes thirty-five of the region's most popular rural and urban rail-trails; full trail profiles, including length, access points, difficulty rating, and surface type; detailed trail maps; at-a-glance icons for easy identification of rail-trails that best suit your interests; availability of parking, rest rooms, and places to eat along the trail; location of ranger stations and visitors' centers; where to rent bikes, boats, skis, and other recreational equipment. The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is the largest trails organization in the country and the only one devoted to converting unused railroad lines to multi-use trails. Since 1986, the Conservancy's mission of reconnecting America with rail-trials has been taking shape all across the country. Today, more than 11,000 miles of rail-trails are open to the public.
