The Ironhorse Trail follows the old "Milwaukee Road" railroad bed. The original tracks over Snoqualmie Pass even went through the Washington Alpine Club property. Later they built the tunnel, and still later they electrified the line. Before the days of the Interstate Highway, the train used to make two daily trips to the Pass to bring skiers up. Hyak was built by the Railroad.
Now, it is a railroad no more, but a wide trail that will take riders all the way to Idaho! We rode from Guye cabin to the Tunnel entrance, and then down to Rattlesnake Lake.

Many folks walk through the Tunnel and then walk back through a second time! Kids really like the old tunnel.
