This trail follows the old railroad grade used for mining and logging during the early 1900's. Interpretive signs and benches are located along the trail. Great views of King and Pulpit Mountains and into the narrow canyon of Callahan Creek.

Callahan Creek named for an early 1890 prospector named Timothy Callahan. The name was probably given to the creek by a Great Northern Railroad survey crew who passed through the area in 1890 and encountered Mr. Callahan at work on his placer claim at the mouth of the creek.
