Pause before you enter Yosemite National Park! Come and Ride the Logger, a steam train from another era. This is the story of the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad, its beginnings, its history, its operation, and its locale. To ride the Logger is to experience a time in the history of California when the Sierra Nevada rang with the sound of axes, the roar of the sawmill, and the whistles of the steam trains. The Shay locomotives, the most powerful narrow gauge engines of their time, hauled dozens of loaded cars up steep grades and through tight turns other trains could not make, while the forests were clear-cut to build the towns and cities of California and the United States. The Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad has been running for 54 years, giving patrons the experience of riding the steam train through the Sierra Nevada National Forest.

In this edition in the popular series, the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy presents the best of the West. With 70 rural, suburban, and urban trails threading through 1,050 miles, Rail-Trails West covers 60 trails in California, eight in Arizona, and two in Nevada. Many rail-trails offer escapes from city life, like the Mount Lowe Railway Trail, high above the buzzing Los Angeles basin on a rail line vacationers once took to a mountaintop resort. Others offer the pure sensory thrill of sweeping terrain, like Arizona's 7-mile Prescott Peavine Trail. Still more juxtapose the natural world with the railroad's industrial past, like Nevada's Historic Railroad Hiking Trail, which passes through five massive tunnels to reach Hoover Dam. Every trip has a detailed map, directions to the trailhead, and information about parking, restroom facilities, and other amenities. Many of the level rail-trails are suitable for walking, jogging, bicycling, inline skating, wheelchairs, and horses.
