Goat Canyon is a valley in San Diego County, California, United States, located within the Carrizo Gorge in the Jacumba Mountains.[1][2] The rock forming the canyon is crystalline basement.[3] One feature of the canyon is a dry waterfall.[4] The canyon is bridged by a wooden railroad trestle, the Goat Canyon Trestle,[1][5] which is the world's largest curved all-wood trestle.[6] The canyon is accessible by trail by traveling west from Mortero Palms.[7]
Flora and fauna
Goat Canyon is named after desert bighorn sheep that live within and around the canyon.[8] During a desert bloom, which occurred in 2017, monkey flowers were observed flowering in the canyon.[9] The endangered species least Bell's vireo migrates through the area around the canyon.[10]
Human history
Prior to Spanish governance, there was Native American activity in the area around Goat Canyon;[11] the impact of this activity includes petroglyphs and pictograms in Carrizo Gorge.[12] The last Native Americans to live in the area were the Kumeyaay.[13] Later cattle ranchers utilized the area.[14] Beginning in 1912, construction began on the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway in the area.[13] The Carrizo Gorge portion of the line, including Goat Canyon, was the final portion to be completed.[15] A railroad tunnel of The San Diego and Arizona Railway, Tunnel number 15, was built into the side of the canyon but it collapsed in 1932.[16] The collapse was caused by an earthquake, which dramatically changed the inclination of Tunnel number 15.[17] After Tunnel number 15 collapsed, it was decided that it would be bypassed using a wooden trestle.[18] During the construction of the trestle, segments were lowered into the canyon from the partially completed trestle.[19] Construction workers took breaks in a portion of the collapsed tunnel that they called the "mud shed".[20] The trestle was completed in 1933.[21]
In 1976 Hurricane Kathleen's effects impacted the region around the canyon, destroying tracks and other trestles in Carrizo Gorge;[22] the trestle over Goat Canyon was also damaged, with some of its footings destroyed during the hurricane.[23] By 1981, repairs from the hurricane damage were completed.[24] Heavy rains returned to the area in 1982 and 1983;[25] this led to rail service being discontinued over Goat Canyon and through Carrizo Gorge.[26] After repairs were again completed, trains once again ran over Goat Canyon in 2004.[5][27][28][29] In 2008 the trains once again stopped running over Goat Canyon.[27][28][30]
Popular media
In 1999, Huell Howser traveled to the canyon to visit the trestle over it.[31] In 2017, the canyon was depicted in a "Mysteries of the Abandoned" episode on the Science Channel.[32]
