At the Iron Goat Interpretive Site, you will learn a lot about the history of the Great Northern Railway that once rode along the mountains. There is an old locomotive that you can even climb on to investigate. This is also the trailhead for the Iron Goat Trail that follows the former train tracks for some miles and leads to impressive tunnels.

The trail to the upper portion of the Iron Goat near this trailhead is quite steep. If you are looking to hike a loop, take the lower trail first, as this will gradually climb you and leave just a few switchbacks to get to the top at the western end. Taking this section to the top will be a much harder effort.
