All told, the remade rail line known as the Palouse to Cascades Trail — also known as the Iron Horse or John Wayne trails — contains more than 100 miles (161 km) of trail from Cedar Falls to the Columbia River, all in a state park that only measures 100 feet (30 m) in width.

This trail's very gentle grades make for pleasant hiking, and surprisingly beautiful views when the trees open up at magnificent trestle bridges. The trail is very popular with cyclists as well.
