6/6/2013 Old Robe Canyon Granite Falls,WA

Old Robe Canyon is a beautiful hike just outside the town of Granite Falls. While on most hiking sites it states the trail is closed at 1.2miles you can really push on much further. After the trail closed sign the train tracks along the river start to reveal themselves. Follow them along the river and scramble over a few rockslides and you will come to a series of old train tunnels blasted through the rock. The first two tunnels are passable to walk through, however, the 3rd and 4th tunnel you will have to climb over. The 3rd tunnel has a nice path to guide you over, the 4th does not. There is a lot of climbing involved to reach the other side. That was out turn around point. Overall was an amazing hike. Enjoy the pictures.
