Iron Goat Trail — Sunday, Oct. 31, 2010

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West
Snowshed near Wellington town site

Second time at this trail, but this time we decided to start at the "Iron Goat Interpretive Site" in the middle, and go all the way to the Wellington town site. Got a late start around noon, but there were no other cars at the trailhead. The trail was in great condition, and apart from a few rocky sections almost like a walk in the park. Encountered only two other parties, both of which appeared to have started from the Wellington trailhead. Turned around at the Old Cascade Tunnel, just beyond the Wellington trailhead. Not much to see there or at the town site, but the large snowshed at the disaster site is quite impressive. Regular interpretive signs along the trail.
