A Poem to get you pointed in the right direction:
Two blocks South of the Big Orange Landmark,
On Nelson Ave. is where you'll start,
Uphill on Elwyn St. is where you'll head,
Keep on going up to the old rail bed,
(park at N49.30.268 W117.15.892)
Proceed North on the old rail line,
not hard to find, just look for the signs,
There are many trestles, so take your time.
