Adventure Awaits: Journey Through Washington's Spruce Railroad Trail

According to a Facebook posting from I Grew Up In Washington State, here is what you can expect from the experience:

Part of the Olympic Discovery Trail, the Spruce Railroad Trail follows an old World War I-era railroad grade—built to transport spruce for airplane construction—along the northern shore of the deep-blue, crystal-clear Crescent Lake. Along the way, you'll pass through the historic McFee Tunnel and have the option to swim or enjoy the views at Devil's Punchbowl, which includes a pedestrian bridge offering breathtaking vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains.

So if you are looking for a hike that includes two railroad tunnels, look no further than the Spruce Railroad Trail in Washington State.

You'll love it!
