What will it take to turn an old rail line into the 86-mile Salmonberry Trail?

Late last year, Peak Northwest co-host Jim Ryan took a tour of the Salmonberry Trail, a historic rail line that’s currently closed to the public but could one day become an 86-mile multi-use path connecting the Portland area to the Oregon coast. For this week's episode of the podcast, we connected with Jon-Paul Bowles, executive director of the Salmonberry Trail Foundation and Jim's guide on the Salmonberry last year, to learn more about the rails-to-trails project.
