Event information

Daily - 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. 360-264-5650 (call to check holiday closures) After registering, drive less than a mile from start point to Tenino City Park (directions in box) to begin walk. Seasonal restrooms (April - October) at park. Restrooms at start point. After exiting the Tenino City Park, this walk passes through a small residential area and then joins the Yelm-Tenino Trail ( a paved former rail bed). It later joins a nature trail and makes a big loop up a steep trail through the forest above the park, which can be very wet in the rainy season. Leaving the park the second time, the walk goes into the town of Tenino where sandstone from Tenino's own quarry was used to rebuild downtown after fires in 1905 and 1917. A local master stone carver still works on Olympia Ave. You see some of his works on the walk. You will pass an antique mall and unique shops. The walk passes the Tenino Depot Museum (open Sat and Sun 12 - 4). The park is home to a 95-feet deep swimming pool. The terraced walls on the hillside above the pool are reminders of the stone quarrying activity of the past. The 5K walk is a town walk only and does not include the Yelm-Tenino Trail or the trail into the forest. 5K is rated 1A. A 10K, 1A option includes the trail and the town.

Awards: IVV CREDIT ONLY
