From Crosscut:
Up at Stevens Pass on the Iron Goat trail lie old-growth railroad history and one of the finest hiking trails you’ll ever find. Among the many great stories are the sagas of John Stevens, heroic engineer of tunnels, and Ruth Ittner, who brought the rail-trail back to life.
Join Volunteers for Outdoor Washington (VOW) this Saturday as they say goodbye to Ruth by the trail she devoted her retirement years to creating. Ruth died in June at age 92.
To learn more about Ruth, the Iron Goat Trail, and the celebration of her life, read the Crosscut article, visit the VOW website, and check out this June Blog4Culture piece.
