Elliot Creek (Goat Lake) Trail #647
Courtesy of EatStayPlay.com
Elliot Creek (Goat Lake) Trail #647 has a choice of two trails from the trailhead. Visitors can follow the abandoned logging road straight ahead from the trailhead or drop down to Elliot Creek and follow the creek trail (reopened summer of 1999). Both trails meet up 1.6 miles prior to reaching Goat Lake. The trail along Elliot Creek enters a beautiful old-growth forest for the first 2.0 miles.
The forest then transforms into second-grow timber before rejoining the Goat Lake Trail. The old logging road/trail is straightforward from the trailhead, initially passing through young alder and hemlock on easy grades. The tread is in good shape with nice views of the valley along the way.
After 3.6 miles the trail intersects with the Elliot Creek Trail. In another 0.5 mile you reach the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness boundary. The last 0.5-mile to Goat Lake consists of steep switchbacks that lead by McIntosh Falls. This trail is 5 miles one way and is considered to be difficult.
