The High Trestle

The High Trestle Trail connects Ankeny north to Slater and then east to Woodward.  The section between Woodward and Madrid is the most notable part since it has a reconstructed railroad bridge.  The bridge is 18 stories high.  The trestle has been reshaped into an evolving pattern of squares to give a person riding through an illusion of passing through a tunnel.  With my friends Brian and Zane, we biked the majority of the trail.
