Iron Goat Trail — Friday, Jun. 14, 2019

Had a lovely hike with beautiful wildflowers and great interpretive signs.  I did want to clarify the mileage stated on this hike.   There are 2 parallel trails, the lower, wider, ADA trail and the upper, rougher, narrower trail.  They are both 3 miles long.  In order to make it a loop you need to hike the 1 mile, steep switchbacks trail which connect the 2 trails on the west end.  That brings the total to 7 miles.  We hiked from the east end on the ADA trail first, climbed the steep switchbacks and then returned on the upper trail.  Next time we'll do the upper trail first, climb down the switchbacks and return on the ADA trail.  There is also a parking lot near the red caboose at the west end of the ADA trail so you could also start from the west end and I believe have less forest service road to drive.
