My apologies, I guess my colorful photo art post yesterday sent the website into a tizzy since the scheduled post didn’t go through until I published it manually…oh well, maybe this black and white image will get things back on track.
Otherwise, I find this walking bridge, aka the railroad trestle, to be photo worthy anytime of year, even in the dead of winter.
A great place to take visiting friends or family, it truly has an interesting history, as the sign indicates, as well as the website, https://peninsulapassage.com/johnson-creek-train-trestle/ :
“410 feet long and 86 feet high, it is the largest railroad trestle on the Olympic Peninsula. It is curved and banked for strength and stability. These two platforms originally held barrels of water for use in the event of a fire. Platforms were built with money raised by friends of Jerry Williamson…1947-2002”
Fast forward to today, and we find it being part of the Olympic Discovery Trail (since 2002) and a beautiful crossing for runners, walkers and bikers. Another reason to tackle the temps and get outdoors!
