The John Wayne/ Iron Horse trail travels the abandoned railway bed of the Milwaukee Railroad for 285 miles starting on the west slope of the cascades and ending at the Idaho border. I started in Rosalia parking in a turnout on Horlacher Road and then went east. The old train overpass is always a treat to see and pass over. You go under the freeway and then just keep going. All the wonderful patterns in the harvested fields are eye catching and folks were out working away to get the crops in. Make sure and wear a pair of stout shoes when doing the trail in this area as it is completely large gravel and rocks, like you see under the railroad tracks. This is not a good trail for bicycles unless you have fat off road type tires.
