Coal Mines Trail

Route Description for Coal Mines Trail

The Coal Mines Trail is more of a town-to-town nature walk than a true hike, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a lovely day on it. This flat, even pathway is surrounded by pretty trees and a stream. Expect bikes, horses, runners, and walkers to all be sharing the trail.

From the trail’s start in Cle Elum, follow the wide gravel pathway. Before leaving, check out the informational sign that talks about the mines here in days past.

It’s a straight shot to Roslyn, which has a historic cemetery and some cute shops and cafes. Of course, you don’t need to go the entire way—feel free to turn around and head back into town whenever you’ve had your fill.
