This photo depicts the Chehalis Western Trail. This trail was once a railroad track that was used to take timber to the waters of the Puget Sound to be shipped out. The railroad tracks have been removed and the trail got paved over. Its uses now are strictly recreational. No motor vehicles of any kind are allowed. On any given day one will find people walking, biking, roller skating (in winter even cross country skiing), etc. I am fortunate because I can access the trail about a mile away from my house. I think the portion that is paved now extends from Woodard Bay in Olympia all the way south to Tenino and Rainier (about 20 miles).
