| Name: | Rail Trail sec. 1, Echo - Hoytsville |

| Name: | Rail Trail sec. 2, Hoytsville - Atkinson | 
|
| Details: | The trail is still relatively flat to Wanship, although the headwind on the way north seems to be quite common so the progress is slower. Then about 200 m vertical climb sandwiched between the Interstate to Atkinson. On the way, a couple of beaver ponds, and an encounter with a marmot. | |
