Hyak 22 miles
Home Routes History Training Events Forum
This is another easy to navigate run. Cross the road in front of the little parking lot to gain the gravel trail that takes you to the Iron Horse trail. Once you intersect the Iron Horse turn left and continue for approximately 22 miles and 1500' elevation gain! Don't forget to bring a flashlight and perhaps a warm shirt for the 2.2 mile trip through the tunnel at the top. Arrange for your ride at the Hyak Iron Horse trailhead parking lot.

This run offers fantastic scenery to the north. You'll cross numerous train trestles, campgrounds, and views of Mt. Si, Mt. Teneriffe (sp?), Mailbox Peak, Granite Mountain, etc.

This also is the course of our annual Pass-Out event held in September each year.
This is the west side of the tunnel going through the mountain. Be prepared for 2.2 miles of the darkest running you've ever done! I've done this without a light by using the slight crown of the path to tell me when I'm off to one side or the other, but I don't recommend it. It is also usually about 20* cooler inside the tunnel than outside, so be prepared for that too.
