It's a very beautiful country we live in. I drove a tractor trailer for 4 yrs and saw scenic views from the road that would take your breath away. Especially the West. I recommend to everyone who can, get out , unplug yourselves and see this great nation.
I enjoyed riding along with you guys. I had a smile on my face the whole time, even though I wasn’t really there. I’ll have to add it to my bucket list. Thanks!
I'm from Europe and when I visited my aunt last summer, we did the bike ride together. It was so amazing and beautiful and I would SO love to go back at some point. The beauty of nature around there is something very special! :)
Padawan, thanks for watching and commenting. I am pleased this video has brought back great memories for you and your Aunt. I really need to get back and capture more images of this abandoned rail line. Thanks again! Dave.
This was my first time on a bike in 30 years! It was also my first attempt to mount my GoPro camera on a bike and on my helmet. I learned a lot that day! I also took along my Canon video camera and a tripod for those long shots of the trestles. This definitely was an experience that I would repeat in the future. Thanks for taking the time to watch and your poetic comments. I sure appreciate them!
I did the trail for the first time on 8/29/2020. It is awesome. They document the history of the RR line VERY well thru the ride at places to stop. Ill be doing it again. Words cannot describe the views.
@@raybaker8726 I've done it a few times. I missed it the first time around too lol. Slowed down and took my time the last time. I love history so I wanted to read them all. Stopped and walked down a few steps under some of the long trestle crossings just off the path to see what they looked like underneath. There were 2 rough cut planks side by side that you could walk the entire distance underneath! Of course I didn't. no safety rails or nothing. Probably for inspections maybe original, but very cool.
+Jennifer Walters Jennifer, thanks for watching and commenting. I have not been on a bike since this ride but this year is the year to take this ride again. Definitely on my to-do list this summer. It was a thrill since it was mostly a 2% downhill grade, a really easy ride (and fun bus trip back to the first tunnel). Thanks again! Dave in western Montana.
Im sorry i didnt finish what i was saying i meant to say milwaukee road i love that railroad for their sleek f-7 steam locos and their s-3s as well i wish it was still here although we can all admit that this trail is very beautiful and if the milwaukee road hd not have dissapeared thankfuly we still have the 261
In your opening shot, the pickup to your right is very close to where the section house was that I spent a winter in. My duties that winter mostly included rerailing cars and operating the tunnel doors. During my stint on the signal crew I had occasion to walk the tunnel three times in the dark. You could see the signals on the other end when you entered so they gave you a sense of direction. A yellow signal to the east meant a train had just left Bryson and to the west meant a train had left Adair. A yellow signal in front of you would reflect of the rails and you could move much faster. You would then keep very close attention to the "alcoves" on the north side which were about 15 rails apart. Then when the train got into the tunnel you would hightail it to the next alcove and get into to await the passing of the train. There would be a tremendous push of air once the train entered. It would get lighter and brighter as the locomotives got closer. The the light and noise would peak in a cresendo and you were instantly plunged in darkness. I literally walked the entire mountain during my Milwaukee stay and things like this really bring back memories. I have been working on my memoirs working there and this helps. My time started in summer of 1970 until the first major layoff.
WOW! What a great post to this video! I am pleased this video brought back memories for you. A person forgets what it took to keep a railroad moving, especially in harsh, mountain terrain. Summer or winter, trains continued to roll through. It took men like yourself to make it all happen, and in all weather conditions. I would be interested in reading your memoirs when you are done. Thanks for watching my video and sharing your unique experiences. Your post was wonderful! Dave.
What an awesome way to re-use the old RR and not allow any motor vehicles on the trail.This video is great, and makes me wish I could pack my stuff and go make the ride. Loving all of the tunnels and that waterfall at the end of the first tunnel.
+Javier Huerta Javier, thanks for watching and commenting on my video. ALL the tunnels were a cool and damp reprieve from the hot summer day. The first long tunnel was actually cold, 50 degrees! We wore coats while we peddled through. What a thrill this was! Thanks again for watching! Dave.
Enjoyed an interesting view of trestles at long sweeping distances combined with an upclose glimpse of waterfalls, foliage and the experience of entering the dark train tunnel.. at the end of the video a soft glowing light emerges and grows brighter ,its own exclamation of relief from the dark tunnel, perfect.
wow what a Excellent job of filming,,, such a wonderful adventure of American railroading history,,, also glad it's still available,,, maybe someday the rails will return,,, but what a great way to spending burning some calories
+Marc Duffie Marc, many thanks for watching and commenting on this video. It was an easy ride since it was down hill all the way! You still needed to peddle but without great effort. The scenery was wonderful and everyone was so curious especially on a busy weekend. I would definitely do the ride again. As for the rails returning, I think that was a previous life that will not be returning. I am sure glad this line has been repurposed since the views could only be seen by a few locomotive engineers. Thanks again for commenting! Dave in Montana.
Thanks for viewing and commenting. The moving video was shot with a GoPro Hero2 and the static shots were captured with a Canon HFS-100 camera. I used a temporary GoPro bike mount that generated a lot of vibration/noise early in the video. I have since upgraded my GoPro mounting hardware. Thanks again. Dave.
Dwight, thanks for watching my video and commenting. Sorry about the background music, maybe not the best choice. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! In either case, this was an easy ride for someone like me who hasn't been on a bile for YEARS! I guess you never forget (I didn't even fall off!) Hope you can do this ride; I would do it again. Dave.
We rode this trail many years ago when our kids were little. Very cool, easy ride. We had a tandem with a picilo bike and a trailer behind that. 650 pounds of mom,dad and kids. It was very cool. we did it again when my kids were in there teens. Still cool. I want to do it again as we are now old....er. The first time the tunnel wasn't opened yet I'd like to run the whole trail to the Montana side. The tunnel is pretty dark bring high powered lights, and it's kind of cold in there, a light jacket would suffice. The road bed is smooth. A road bike may be a little to light for the trail A cross bike would be fine. Our tandem had street tires on it, but tandems are beefier.This video is a pretty good representation of what it is like. Good Job. And yes, those tresles are that tall, keep an eye on the little ones, The cables are wide enough for them to slip through. You'll be very close to Glacier National Park in Montana. Well worth the visit. Thanks Dave
Incredible location and super nice work with the video. I bike the trails in Florida, and they are all paved. The trestles are fantastic. All the best.
Charles, thanks for the kind words. I plan on reshooting these scenes this fall with a DJI OSMO (stabilized camera) on a bike mount and also with a DJI Phantom Advanced drone (for side trestle shots). This video was my first attempt with a GoPro on the bike (bad mount) and on my helmet (unstable in more ways than one!) It is nice to ride on paved trails since this trail can get quite dusty during dry, busy summers. Thanks again for your great comments and HAPPY TRAILS to you! Dave in Montana.
Great job! The music is perfect if you understand the history of the MILW RR. Watching bikes and not trains on this line kills me. ;) I want to ride this trail someday. I have known about it for a long time and watching your video really makes it high on my list! Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting on this video. It was an experience for me and the first attempt with my GoPro. It was a great day trip since I live in Western Montana. Maybe next year I will ride the trail again. Quite spectacular, indeed. Thanks again for watching! Dave.
Just found your wonderful video six years later, and man! What an inspiration! Sure hope I get the chance to do this. Thank you for sharing. P.S. My wife says it looks terrifying!
Thanks for finding me! The trail is an easy ride, 2% downhill all the way and not to scary if you stay in the center of the trestles! I need to do this ride again and update this video with better cameras. Maybe next year? Thanks again for viewing and commenting. Dave.
Dave, this is a great video. Music is fine. I got to start riding. to get my butt in shape. Maybe we'll see you out there this summer 2nd week in July Saturday. Thanks again.
Very nice video with pleasant music. Does a person have to take a shuttle, or do they have a parking lot where you can ride out and back? I guess I'm asking if the trail is only one way.
The trail is two way, but most people park at the top and ride down the 2% grade to the shuttles. You need to purchase shuttle tickets beforehand. It is an easy ride down, but could be tough peddling back uphill if you are not used to it. Dave.
We're going out there this summer. Just my wife and I . Kids all grown up. She doesn't like the tandem anymore. So we'll be on separate bikes. I think we're only going in on direction....down. People, It's a beautiful ride. Even if there's a lot of people on the trail. See you on the trail.
D Jablonski Downhill is the only way to go! You could rent bikes and car-bike racks at mile marker 0, top of the pass on I90. I would suggest you purchase tickets and such things on-line at their website. It tells all about it, pricing, etc. Pick a week day in the summer, watch the weather before booking. The day we were there they actually put on extra busses and threw out the bus schedules for the trip back to the tunnel because of the unprecedented crowds the day we were there. No worry, since you 'all are going one way anyway! Very easy peddling, an easy ride for sure! This was the first time I was on a bile in 20 years or so and it was a blast after the first 10 feet! You will definitely enjoy yourselves and the scenery. Pack a lunch and start early. Don't rush the experience, just soak it all in, stopping often! You will have FUN!!! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment on my video. Dave in western Montana.
The MILW over Snoqualmie was a better route then the BN's choice which is BNSF Stampede Pass. Supposedly you can run Double Stack Container trains through the tunnel!
We started the ride about 9am and arrived at the busses around 3pm for the shuttle back. We took our time, ate lunch and had a leisurely ride. The grade is all level or 2% downhill. Hardly had to peddle. You need to purchase tickets online and the bus shuttle is much better than riding the grade back uphill. Enjoy your day trip! Dave.
Thanks for the video! I got hit by a car eight months ago and am just not able to get back to ride on a stationary bike in my basement (after several hundred hours of physical, occupational, and speech therapy). Most bike ride videos have too many graphics on the screen or other cyclists obstructing the view.
David, I am so sorry to hear about your accident. I trust you at healing well. It sounds like you have a lot of assistance to help you along. What an ordeal for sure! I am pleased my little video has helped you heal. I want to do this ride again, maybe this summer. I now have capabilities to grab some aerial shots with my drone and capture stable ground/bike shots with a stabilized camera system. I am always striving to offer better viewer experiences. Thanks again for your comments and I wish you the best for your recovery path. Dave in western Montana.
Buddy, I don't know the exact mileage but I believe we started the ride about 9 and needed to be at the busses at 3. It was a leisurely ride downhill all the way (2% grade) with lots of stops for pictures, lunch, etc. A must-do experience. Dave.
The town of Avery lies at the bottom of the west end of the hill. Wallace Idaho is some 20-30 miles to the north over a dirt road. Haugan (a very small town) lies to the east of the bottom. Access from the east is the Taft exit.
Judy, thanks for watching my video and posting your comments. Yes, there is a lot to se in this nation if you just go and do it! It doesn't need to be expensive to go explore. Like you said, just unplug! To answer your question, when train traffic was rolling through they had their own lights. Now days, to install lights and the supporting transformers/conduit and "people proof" lights to go that distance, along with the annual electricity bill would be cost prohibitive. Currently the cost is $10 a day to ride the trail and they are probably using that money for general maintenance. A guess on lighting may be $500,000 and probably $10,000 for electricity for each season. Judy, thanks again for viewing and commenting. Enjoy the great out-doors in beautiful Georgia, a state I would love to visit again. Dave in Montana.
Yep! And it is slightly downhill all the way (unless you want to peddle back!) Some people do peddle back instead of riding the busses back up the hill. I think it is only a 2% grade. Dave.
Illinois is not beautiful, but Idaho is. Right now I'm 10 and most people live around 75 years old. So basically I've probably wasted about 1/6 of my life.
It's a very beautiful country we live in. I drove a tractor trailer for 4 yrs and saw scenic views from the road that would take your breath away. Especially the West. I recommend to everyone who can, get out , unplug yourselves and see this great nation.

Yep! And it is slightly downhill all the way (unless you want to peddle back!) Some people do peddle back instead of riding the busses back up the hill. I think it is only a 2% grade. Dave.
No, motorized vehicles are not allowed. It is a walking and bicycling trail only.
Sorry about the misinformation. I thought you had a mountain bike. Peddle bikes or walking only on this section of the trail. Dave.
Illinois is not beautiful, but Idaho is. Right now I'm 10 and most people live around 75 years old. So basically I've probably wasted about 1/6 of my life.
But when I'm grown up I will move to North Idaho. Near Coeur d'Alene.
