The Poolburn Gorge is one of the most dramatic sections on the Rail Trail.  For this reason it is recommended that cyclists pack snacks and allow for a stop to give them a chance to soak up the stunning scenery of the gorge.  A torch is recommended for the tunnel.  Take the time to get off your bike and view the Viaduct, the tunnels and the bridge structures.
