Pulaski Tunnel Trail - a hike

On one of the days before the TaterTOT began, we took a hike on the Pulaski Tunnel Trail. This trail was the route Ed Pulaski took during the 1910 Big Burn Fire that took out the entire valley. To see full details of this huge fire, check out the book or documentary, both called ‘The Big Burn’.

This hike was two miles in both directions to highlight the mine tunnel that Pulaski took his team to, so that they could survive the fire. While a strenuous climb up and down, it was beautiful. We did it early in the day. There is a stream that stays close to the trail for its entire length. I decided to highlight the water along the route, so captured these photos.  See what you think...
