    Great little stop!
    1) u pass a nice eating area where you can pick your own berries, watch some horses.
    2) there is a bathroom (not the best but its there)
    3) long bike trail !!! (Wish we had bikes)
    4) MULTIPLE picnic tables stationed throughout the walk (not really a hike)

    Overall great place to stop by and relax!

    Cool spot to pull off and stretch your legs. Lots of people and its pretty trendy. Cool paths and stuff, the Truss is cool, looking up and seeing just how tall they stand from the ground

    This is probably the highlight of the Banks to Vernonia trail. It sort of sneaks up on you as ride up to it. I did not know it was curved, must of been exciting to drive a train over it in the day.

    Once used by logging trains, this is now part of the 21-mile-long Banks-Vernonia State Trail, an excellent example of a rails-to-rails project. The trestle is 80' high. There is an easy trail from the parking lot that runs under the trestle and to the bottom for the most spectacular views. Well worth a quick side trip off Hwy. 26.

    I've always loved walking across trestles. Not having to worry about getting run over by a train is a plus. Great view. Part of the best bike/hike/horse? trail around.

There's a disc golf course among the trees, lots of hiking and mountain biking trails. The large day use area has amazing views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Don't forget to bring the bikes, there's a paved Banks-Vernonia State Trail which includes the 80-foot high Buxton Trestle bridge.
