With an elevation gain of approximately 1,017 feet, it offers a relatively gentle and continuous path suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.

From Wikipedia

The Chehalis Western Trail is a 22-mile (35 km) rail trail in Thurston County, Washington, and is the longest shared-use path in the region. The trail, encompassing 170 acres (69 ha), occupies an abandoned railroad corridor that was once used by the historic Weyerhaeuser-owned Chehalis Western Railroad. The rail line was converted to a bicycle and walking trail and intersects with the 14.5-mile (23.3 km) Yelm–Rainier–Tenino Trail and the 4.7-mile (7.6 km) Karen Fraser Woodland Trail.
