Iron Goat Trail — Saturday, Jul. 6, 2019

Arrived to the trail head around 1:30pm with plenty of parking spots left. The road up does have a few potholes but it was not a problem for our small hatchback. We began on the lower grade of the trail but decided to take the Martin Creek crossover to the upper grade which was recommended in another trip report. The trail was well maintained with some areas being slightly overgrown, but nothing unmanageable. We spotted a bunch of wildflowers and butterflies along the way which were absolutely beautiful. The mosquitoes were very annoying and I ended up with a lot of bites at the end of the day, so if you're prone to getting bit I would recommend bug spray. Although we passed a few other groups the trail didn't feel particularly busy. We completed the loop in a little over 3 hours -- overall this was an enjoyable hike!
