Rock climbers will enjoy the vertical 500 ft Index Town Wall, featuring some of the most technical rock climbing anywhere in the state. A little further west is Boulder Drop, class IV-V rapids, which thousands of rafters and kayakers conquer yearly during the spring, early summer, and fall. Spring and early summer are the best times for rafting, as the water level is usually too low by mid to late July. Less daring minds can also enjoy the gentle family floats down the south fork of the Skykomish River. Horses are available at Skyland Ranch in Gold Bar 360-793-2611. For railroad buffs, the 7.8 mile Cascade Tunnel can be visited on the way to Stevens Pass, and the wheelchair accessible Iron Goat Trail retraces the path of the original railroad grade, avalanche sheds and the original 3-mile Cascade Tunnel.
