  • Family Activities Handbook
    Youth & Adult Participant and Parent/Guardian Commitment In Mountaineers Family Activities, youth participants must be accompanied by an adult who agrees to be their supervisor. If the leader’s child is participating, there should be an additional adult who takes responsibility for that child, so that the trip leader can focus on the safety of the group, without the distraction of taking care of a youth participant. Adults participating in a family activity may supervise more than one youth, and youth can attend without their parents/guardians as long as they are with another adult. Because many of our locations have party-size maximums dictated by the land manager, often times a family activity can only accommodate a handful of families. Because of this, and because families typically need to plan far in advance, it is very important that families commit to attending the activity. A last-minute cancellation will prevent families from attending who could have attended with more notice, and may significantly impact the feel of the activity. Families who frequently cancel at the last minute may risk denial of participation in future family activities. Electronics Cell phones, music and video games are typically not a part of the Mountaineers programs. They detract from the wilderness experience and from the community. Youth are encouraged to leave all electronics out of sight (or at home) during Mountaineers programs. Youth who choose to use cell phones, gps units or other electronics may do so, with the leader’s permission, as long as it creates no disruption of the wilderness experience for others.

  • Iron Horse State Park Trail – Renaming Effort/Trail Update – Report
    Don Hoch Direc tor STATE O F WASHINGTON WASHINGTON STATE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSI ON 1111 Israel Ro ad S.W. P.O . Box 42650 Olympia, WA 98504-2650 (360) 902-8500 TDD Telecommunications De vice for the De af: 800-833 -6388 www.parks.s tate.wa.us March 22, 2018 Item E-5: Iron Horse State Park Trail – Renaming Effort/Trail Update – Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This item reports to the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission the current status of the process to rename the Iron Horse State Park Trail (which includes the John Wayne Pioneer Trail) and a verbal update on recent trail management activities. This item advances the Commission’s strategic goal: “Provide recreation, cultural, and interpretive opportunities people will want.” SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Initial acquisition of Iron Horse State Park Trail by the State of Washington occurred in 1981. While supported by many, the sale of the former rail line was controversial for adjacent property owners, some of whom felt that the rail line should have reverted back to adjacent land owners. This concern, first expressed at initial purchase of the trail, continues to influence trail operation today. The trail is located south of, and runs roughly parallel to I-90 (see Appendix 1). The 285-mile linear property extends from North Bend, at its western terminus, to the Town of Tekoa, on the Washington-Idaho border to the east. The property consists of former railroad corridor, the width of which varies between 100 feet and 300 feet. The trail tread itself is typically 8 to 12 feet wide and has been developed on the rail bed, trestles, and tunnels of the old Chicago Milwaukee & St.
