Hike 7/8 Iron Goat Trail End-to-End
Starting out from Wellington. The mile posts reflect actual railroad miles from the origin point in St. Paul, MN
The eerie scene inside the concrete snowshed constructed after the 1910 Wellington avalanche disaster.
Nearing the end of the 2400-foot-long snowshed
Dense brush and wildflowers hide the trail in some areas
Looking upslope toward an open avalanche slope above the trail
Looking across the valley toward the old highway (below) and the current highway (above)
Trail scenery near Windy Point
Beautiful turkey tail fungus
Looking into the Windy Point Tunnel
Walking along the outer rim of the tunnel
View from the toilet near Windy Point
Views from our lunch spot on Windy Point
Trail passes a large rockslide of fairly recent vintage
Profuse daisies along the trail
Views of the central Cascades
Tail end of trail at Martin Creek
