Horseshoe Tunnel Extension Fund
The Iron Goat Trail, located near Stevens Pass in Washington State, offers a window into Great Northern Railway history. Since 1990 volunteers, in a labor of love, have transformed an abandoned railway bed into a hiking trail. The Horseshoe Tunnel Trail project will capture a critical interpretive element in the Iron Goat Trail experience.
