Iron Goat Trail, Mountain hiking trail in King County, United States.
The Iron Goat Trail extends through 6 miles of forest terrain, featuring old railway tunnels, cement snow sheds, and mountain vistas along its path.
Built in 1893, this former Great Northern Railway route served as a vital transportation link until 1929, when newer infrastructure made it obsolete.
The trail preserves the legacy of Japanese immigrant workers who contributed their labor and skills to construct the original railway infrastructure.
Visitors need a Northwest Forest Pass to access the parking area at Martin Creek trailhead, which accommodates 20 vehicles and includes vault toilets.
Distance markers along the path still display the original mileage calculations to Chicago, reflecting the railway's continental reach during its operation.
