PULASKI TUNNEL TRAIL JOEL RINER Photographer:
How do you get there? Take Exit 61 for Wallace/I‑90 Busi - ness—stay right at the end of the ramp and head south. Turn left onto I‑90 Business Route (Front Street). After about 0.1 mile, turn right onto 2nd Street. Continue on 2nd Street for a few blocks, then turn right onto Bank Street. Bank Street becomes King Street. Follow it south as it turns into National Forest Road 456 / Moon Pass Road. Continue on FS Road 456 for approximately 1 mile. The well‑marked Pulaski Tunnel Trail parking lot will be on your left — just before or at a water tank. N Nspire Challenge Rating:
