This is part of our 100 Things in 2014 challenge. Here’s the full list.

If you camp at Fort Stevens and you don’t visit the wreck of the Peter Iredale, you’re doing it wrong. It’s a short hike from the campground, or about a 10-minute bike ride.

Shortly after these photos were taken, we were warned that the structure is pretty weak, and that maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to climb on a tetanus mountain.

It’s a fascinating piece of history, and who doesn’t like a shipwreck?
