Bygone Byways Interpretive Trail

Most of the Great Northern’s original roadbed between Cascade Station and Berne has been turned into roads, either as part of the Cascade Scenic Highway (now U.S. Highway 2), which opened in 1935, or as U.S. Forest Service roads. However, a short section of the roadbed survives as a hiking trail called the Bygone Byways Interpretive Trail.

This short trail passes through a rock cut used by the railroad, as well as a few historical artifacts and a view of Nason Creek.
