Goat Canyon Trestle – Direct Route

Direct-route outing to Goat Canyon Trestle.

Goat Canyon Trestle – Direct Route

A direct-route attempt to the Goat Canyon Trestle. This approach involves steeper terrain and loose rock but stays navigable. Kept to visible paths and rail-adjacent sections without dropping into riskier sidewalls.

Included a basic look at the historic trestle area before returning the same way.

Quick Info

  • Type: Scramble + rail-adjacent hike
  • Location: Anza-Borrego
  • Movement: Direct approach route

Notes

  • The trestle is a well-known historic structure
  • Direct route is tougher than the standard
