Iron Goat

Terah and I wanted different views and we've talked about Iron Goat since last year.   We like doing a creepy hike around Halloween.  Iron Goat seemed to fit the bill.  I have to say we absolutely loved this hike.  It was easy to find our path as Terah found that Iron Goat has it's own website.

We also found the map....

We went to the interpretive trail head on Route 2 at mile 58.3 on the left.  It is well marked, so no worries trying to find it. Bathrooms at the trail head.  We headed up the switchbacks to Windy point then onto the old town of Wellington.  Total miles were about 8 miles round trip.  Trail is easy to find, well marked and easy to follow.  Not a lot of people on the trail, ran into a few friendly people that made the hike that much more fun.  So happy we went, for us it was an hour and a half drive one way, but so worth the trip.  Amazing sights and great weather.  Couldn't have asked for a better Halloween hike...it is creepy in parts if you ask us!!!  Especially in  the cement snow shed!
