Snoqualmie Valley Trail--Crossing the Trestle.

This is an old favorite. The Snoqualmie Valley Trail from Tokul East (4333 356th Drive SE, Fall City) is a lovely flat walk on a wide gravel path that allows a look back into the history of the old railroad line, and we get to cross the original trestle. We usually turn around at the underpass, making this a 5-mile walk. Of course, you could choose to turn around earlier to shorten your walk
