The Hidden Valley Passage trail is the newest trail in the Marilla
Reservoir Trails system. It is located on a 1.5-mile section of a
late 1800's railroad grade. As noted in the Tuna Valley Trail
Association (TVTA) newsletter: "Except for a few minor repairs, the
unimproved condition of the old grade is a remarkable and a tribute
to those who built it. Another interesting feature is where wodden
trestles carried trains overs small valleys, including Hidden
Valley." The trail roughly parallels West Washington Street (Rt.
346). The lower end of the trail begins behind the Indian Pipe
Trail Kiosk. The upper end is accessed by a path near the top of
the hill on West Washington across from a yellow gated road. Our
thanks to the TVTA for granting pemission for this cache placement
and for their support of Geocaching! For more information on area
