Project Highlights
The Project constructed 8.6 miles of single track and road-to-trail conversion trail ascending 2,700 feet in elevation on Mount Washington within Olallie State Park. Seven informal viewpoints with boulder seating stones were constructed overlooking the I-90 Snoqualmie corridor. A kiosk was placed at the beginning of the Olallie Trial at the intersection of the John Wayne Pioneer Trial in Iron Horse State Park. A RCO funding acknowledgement sign and trail entry sign are located on the kiosk. The trail entry sign includes a 3-d trail map informing trail users of the trail distance, elevation gain and relationship of trail to the top of Mt. Washington. Trail use type yielding reassurance carsonite signs are located all along the trail.
