From Spokane to Rosalia - going south.
Milwaukee Nature Corridor just North of Rosalia. The next photos are heading west from Rosalia to Pine City. The RR grade, now trail, skirts along the hill in the distance.
The raised trail bed is seen in a good number of the next photos along with the views from this part of the Milwaukee natuer corridor.
The standard trail sign for the corridor in eastern Washington. This is at Pine City.
This is Ewan WA. The next views are from Ewan going North for about 5 miles. The full section going north along Rock Lake is one of the more dramatic segments of the Eastern WA part of the corridor.
Ewan grain elevators.
Another missing trestle just north of Ewan.
View from just above the corridor at the south end of Rock Lake.
Views of and from the trail.
A small beautiful lake on a bench of basalt just below the trail and a steep vertical descent above Rock Lake.
The trail along the hillside in the distance. There are several short tunnels and trestles at the north end of this segment along the east edge of Rock Lake.
This is just west of Ewan. This and the next photos are of the segment going west from Ewan to Marango.

The great basalt - Scablands - the trail runs through.
Revere grain elevator in the distance
This is another WA State Park trail that runs from Spokane to Pasco just north of where it crosses over the Old Milwaukee trail
Note how much nicer the barriers are for this trail compared to the old Milwaukee. See the standard old Milwaukee trail barrier the forth photo from this one.
The Old Milwaukee trail barrier with it's less than inviting sign, Padlocked gate. Many of these gates have been destroyed, except where they serve as a fence for keeping cattle in.
The trail corridor as it heads into Marengo. This appears to be where the Old Milwaukee lines from Cheney and Spokane connected with the Cross State Trail of the Milwaukee Trail.
Old RR buildings still standing at Marengo. It looks like in the haydays this was a large switching yard.
The trail that runs just south of the two active Union Pacific lines that merge here at Marengo and then split with one going south just west of Merango.
Another missing trestle over the road running north-south into Marengo.
The Union Pacific line going under the Old Milwaukee trail.
A spattering of rain over the dry scablands.
Coming back from Marengo to Ewan. Going from west to east.
