Harmony-Preston Valley Segment
17.8 miles (28.6 km) miles in length, the trail runs predominantly north/south. The trail follows the Root River only from the junction to Preston. South of Preston, the trail is no longer built on a former rail grade, causing the inclines to be steeper in areas. Nearing Harmony, the trail begins to form sharp right angles as it cuts between existing farm fields and properties.
This segment of the trail intersects two towns:
- 0 miles (0 km) - junction with Root River segment (northern terminus of trail segment)
- 5.5 miles (8.9 km) - Preston, Minnesota
- 17.8 miles (28.6 km) - Harmony, Minnesota (southern terminus of trail segment)

Famous quotes containing the word valley:
“How old the world is! I walk between two eternities.... What is my fleeting existence in comparison with that decaying rock, that valley digging its channel ever deeper, that forest that is tottering and those great masses above my head about to fall? I see the marble of tombs crumbling into dust; and yet I don’t want to die!”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
