Long distance bikers and thrill seekers will be thrilled that the Snoqualmie Pass Tunnel of the John Wayne Pioneer Trail will, after being closed for several years, re-open on July 5. A re-opening ceremony, organized by the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, will go from 10:45 am till 1:00 pm on the east side of the long (2.3 mile), dark tunnel. If you're interested in celebrating this event with other excited trail and biking enthusiasts, you might consider joining the  Trust as it celebrates its 20th anniversary with a Mountains to Sound Trek, which will include hiking and biking from Ellensburg to the Seattle Waterfront (more information is on their website).

More information about the work that went into repairing the tunnel can be found on Biking Bis.
