| The Centennial Trail in Snohomish County, WA was made as part of a national initiative "Rails to Trails", making a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines. You'll just love this scarcely used trail that is comfortable for hiking, biking, and horse riding. And it's ideal for picnicking by the river side! All this beauty and tranquility just 30 miles northeast of Seattle. |

| The beautiful Snohomish river meanders along part of the Centennial Trail. This is a portion near the Pilchuk trailhead. Berry bushes are nearby along the river and along the trail. They're almost ready for picking, and you'll have easy access to fill your buckets and baskets. |

| Look just past the picnic basket into the river. We were pleasantly interrupted by local rafters floating along the peaceful river. |
 |
| The trail stretches 29 miles from Snohomish to Nakashima Farm, north of Arlington, WA. My favorite is to ride bikes from Snohomish to Lake Cassidy for a picnic and dangle toes in the water before riding back. The views include forests, lots of farms and ranches with agricultural land, and parallel to pretty little small towns.
