About the Journey

There are only superlatives to express the experience taking in the Othello tunnels and its canyon.  No one leaves this area unimpressed.  The loop allows one to take a trail, once part of the Brigade Trail, above the tunnel area.  Expect the latter to be a rugged trail and requiring quite a bit of climbing.  Of course the trail through the tunnels was once a railroad and therefore the grade is less than two percent.  The distance may seem short but because of the climbing it will take extra time.  Allow 2.5 to 3 hours.

GPS INFORMATION:

  • KML/KMZ files can be opened in Google Earth, and many smartphone apps.
  • GPX files can be opened by most GPS software apps when KMZ cannot. Note, GPX files do not contain custom colours and icons that we use on our maps; all tracks and icons will appear the same colours and styles. We recommend using KMZ instead when possible.
  • GPX-Garmin are GPX files that we have optimized for older Garmin units that only display tracks that contain 500 points or less (such as Garmin eTrex units).

Visit our GPS & Navigation page for instructions of how to use your smartphone as a GPS device (even when outside of data coverage) or how to import data to your Garmin unit.
