– “Visit Thurston’s Bountiful Byway Via the Yelm-Tenino Trail”
“Thurston County is home to the 14-mile Yelm-Tenino Trail. While not as well-known as its sister trail, the Chehalis-Western, the trail connects the rural cities of Yelm, Rainier, and Tenino. Just over a 100 years ago, it was known as the “Prairie Line” by the Burlington Northern Railroad. Now the well-maintained trail offers recreational users a unique and decidedly different way to access Thurston’s Bountiful Byway and experience some of the county’s best kept secrets,” by Julie Alonso, South Sound Talk.
