Tips

In 1915 the tiny town of Hyak was a train station and became a community. Today it is part of the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail in Iron Horse State Park, showing you some of the history around the former railway that you now use for biking or hiking.

In 1915, Hyak replaced Laconia as the main train station on Snoqualmie Pass. Hyak had a small school house, and a post office. A large attraction was the national ski championship events held at here from 1941 until 1949 when the lodge was lost to fire. The train station saw its last train roll across its tracks in 1981 when the Milwaukee Road Railroad sold off the line and it was decommissioned.
