Iron Goat Trail - Hauntingly Tragic Avalanche & Railway Disaster

PNW Haunts & Homicides

This week we talk about the tragic history of The Iron Goat Trail. This former railroad through Stevens Pass in the Central Cascades of Washington, was the site of the deadliest avalanche in American history. Much like the sinking of the Titanic two years later, this is the story of when transportation progression and natural disasters collide. It’s no wonder hikers claim to feel, hear, and even see strange things on their visits to the trail. We also learn a very important Tarot lesson in this episode. It’s a reminder that we are definitely learning and figuring things out as we go!
