Goat Rocks Wilderness

07/18/15

I went with a group of women (all ages! 23-64!). The views just keep getting better the higher you climb. We camped at Goat Lake, and there was plenty of room for our large group and three other friendly backpackers. Most of the snow had melted and we had more than enough access to water and shady spots to rest in. If you are looking for a moderate climb (2,000ft elevation gain up to 6,000ft) this is the place for you! The views of Mt. Adams alone are reason enough to put this hike on your bucket list! Not to mention, the valley and ridges you climb are speckled with wild flowers and your friendly mountain goats!
