The hike is on level ground and includes walking on both train tracks and ground next to the tracks. You start at Cochran Pond and pass a historic ghost logging town with some remnants of a mill and train station. Caroline will point out interesting and historic areas along the way, including old-growth forest remnants from before the Tillamook Burn. An easy hike.
