Once the snow has cleared, there is the former town of Wellington near the top of Highway 2. There are huge abandoned railway structures and tunnels. Easy to get to and as far as I know not all the busy.

Fort Casey is also a great place to explore.

You'd want the Iron Goat Trail for this. I hiked it a few years ago. Since then, I heard the upper part of the loop trail had a mudslide and was closed off. I'm not sure if it has been cleaned up. The lower trail is an easy hike and features snow sheds.

While you're in the area, stop at nearby Deception Falls. Especially in the spring when the water is fast.
