Bill Chipman Palouse Trail
Bill Chipman Palouse Trail is an 8 mile path that follows along an abandoned railroad, over 13 bridges that cross over Paradise creek.
Whether you bike, walk, run, you can make the journey from one town of Palouse to the next and enjoy the fresh air.
Trailheads begin at:
Pullman – the Quality Inn
Moscow – Perimeter Drive
The trail opened in 1998 through efforts of members of the Pullman Civic Trust.
It is named in memory of Bill Chipman, who was a good friend to many on the Palouse and died in a tragic 1996 car crash.
