Notes
  • Significance: Goat Trail [Mining Road] at Devil's Corner is a spectacular example of the physical barriers which challenged those who sought to exploit America's wilderness. It was the most difficult stretch of a mining trail which ran up the north side of the Skagit River, from the present town of Newhalem to the upriver mining areas of Ruby Creek and Thunder Creek. The road not only represented a formidable barrier to the gold fields on the upper Skagit during the late nineteenth century, but was also a significant obstacle to the development of hydroelectric power on the Skagit during the 1920s.
