vegetablebelay Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Topozone.com shows 9 Goat Mountains in Washington, have you picked one of them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 21, 2002 Author Share Posted February 21, 2002 I was refering to the one near Mt Baker. I will be more specific in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexus Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 No need for camping if you get an early start. Don't go the way of the Goat Mountain Trail, it is way too long. Snowshoes should be fine. Start from Twin Lakes Road, cut down to Swamp Creek and head up a gully to the glacier basin in between the West and East Peaks. Head up some steep snow and then traverse to the east side for the summit. Great views in all directions. IT is definitely easy to get both peaks in one day. And if snow conditions are good, a nice glissade back down. Just be careful going up the gully as it has some avy and rockfall dangers depending on snow condition.
