I rode 9 miles of the former right-of-way that is not part of the trail from Avery, ID to the western trailhead. From there, it was 14.5 miles to the eastern trailhead. Until you cross the pass somewhere in the tunnel it's all uphill. That's why many people start in the east, ride the trail and then take a shuttle back to the west portal of the tunnel then ride through the tunnel again back to the eastern trailhead. And note that that's not the only tunnel. There are several more and some high trestles. The portion of the right-of-way from Avery to the western trailhead has its over tunnels. The first one you hit is No. 36. One on the trail had to be bypassed because the roof collapsed. St. Paul is No. 20. So I went through 15 in all.
