John Wayne Bike Trail Biking from Rattlesnake Lake, near North Bend, to Hall Creek. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A "stumpscape". This lake is obviously lots higher in the summer. | We were kind of excited over this "cougar" track. Then after we saw a couple thousand like it, we reluctantly decided they were dog tracks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Plenty of stumps to support the camera for this picture! | This is the bike trail, a former railroad track. By and large, pretty straight and boring. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Some cool bridges across the valleys. |   And some climbers as well. | On the way back, Eric coasted the entire way downhill (7 miles). |   Mossy tree trunks. | I believe these signs were left over from when this was still an active railroad track. |   Back along Rattlesnake Lake, an old road had been partially covered up to make a walking path. You can still see the painted median. |  The old town of Moncton lies beneath these waters. It was a logging/railroad town that was submerged by water leaking from a damned up lake uphill. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
