The Hagerman Tunnel Trail was once a proposed railroad route and the railroad bed was built to the Hagerman Tunnel site but the tunnel project proved to be more difficult than expected and the project was abandoned. Now the Hangerman Tunnel Trail is a non-technical trail in high elevation terrain, with excellent views along its length of alpine scenery, lakes and the ghost town of Douglas.
The Hagerman Tunnel Trail is a mix of abandoned railroad bed, dirt roadway and singletrack, with a high point of over 11,500 feet. There are interpretive signs along the way that explain about the railroad project. Riders looking for additional mileage can like up with the Turquoise Lake Trail near the end of the ride for an additional grind.

Additional Details:
While riding any trail system it is a great idea to include a repair kit and first aid kit. Hagerman Pass Trail is multi-use and hikers, horseback riders, vehicles and other trail users may be seen along the way. Please be considerate on the trails and understand right of way protocol. Hagerman Pass Trail is located in high elevation mountains and can experience sudden weather shifts, so riders should bring appropriate warm layers in anticipation of this.
