An absolutely stunning hike. An absolutely gorgeous place, though you should bring a flashlight. I was taken here by my ex girlfriend and it's a memory I will never forget. The walls are covered in skillful murals that make going through each and every tunnel worth it. It is Rocky and the ground isn't always even, clocking in at around 4.3 miles. I will never forget the site of a beautiful girl looking down at the lake.

Great hike thru old train tunnels. There is a ton of amazing graffiti art and some not so great graffiti. Bring a flashlight some parts are very dark to walk thru. We’ve taken a few groups of guests and all ages loved it! You can make the walk as long or short as you want. It’s an out and back hike.
