Description
This is a paved bike route that was created specifically to be a convenient and easy ride for students that utilizes switchbacks to connect WSU's campus to downtown. In addition to this route, there is a series of stairs that connect also connects these areas. While primarily for students on bikes, this is also part of Pullman's Trail and Pathways which are all non-motorized multi-use trails. This trail begins just past Reaney Park. While it stays with the walking-only path for a bit, it soon separates for a switchback. It then returns to the walking-only path at the replica of the historic WSU arch. Finally, it diverges once again and completes the rest of its route to Dana Hall and the rest of campus.
