Geocache Description:

Another stop on the lower trail of the Iron Goat Trail. Cache is placed near an old concrete snow shed.

This trail offers a great deal of history regarding the Great Northern Railway. The hike is a scenic loop with an upper and lower trail.

This snow shed was built in 1913 and was just over 1/3 of a mile long (1,868 feet). Timbers were used to hold up the wooden roof and rested on concrete footings. Evidence of these timbers can still be seen at this site as well as other areas along the Iron Goat Trail.

Enjoy this hike where you can see tunnels, waterfalls, snow sheds, railroad remanents, and beautiful scenary!

Much of the trail system is stroller friendly with the exception of the Windy Point crossover trail. Please refer to this website for additional information.
