Ride Summary:
A short singletrack trail linking to a rail trail.
Trail Description:
From the parking lot ride back the way you came to a gravel road on the right. at .6 take the trail to the right. .9 the trail will become more of a road. turn left and pedal up the hill. at 2.2 cross a trestle. 3.5 cross another trestle. Pass all other cutoffs until 4.8 where you pass a transformer station. Continue on the railroad. 6.3 cross another trestle. 6.5 cross another trestle. 6.6 is the end of the trail at the washed out trestle. retrace your steps back to the parking lot.
How to get there:
From Seattle, take I-90 East to exit 32. Turn right and pass the golf course. Continue up the winding road until you reach rattlesnake lake on the right.
Additional Notes:
On the other side of the lake you can find an extreme trail if you're up for that.

This information is totally obsolete--except for the part about the 'road on the right'--you can still park there, go around the gate marked 'no motor vehicles' and head up the gravel road. Take a left on the Mating Snakes' Trail (presently a sign on a tree there pointing left: 'To Iron Horse Trail'). That's a fun singletrack. Otherwise, use the driving directions to access the Iron Horse Trail--all tressels are in place, and the 'extreme' trail across the lake is hikers only now.

Just above the parking lot at Rattlesnake Lake, look for Iron Horse State Trail and start here. Much better beginning point. Also note that the tressle that was listed as "out" has been replaced and you can ride all the way to the Snoqualmie Tunnel and past (season permitting). This is the lower end of the Humpback Mt. trail.
