The
trail begins at a junction (left fork) with Barlow
Point Trail #709. This is a part of old Everett - Monte Cristo
Railroad and there is a picture of this part of the road from 1890's.
Trail goes through a new forest that grew after the forest fire of
1905 said to be started by the spark from a locomotive  .
This is an easy and pleasant walk. |
