This was a 8 mile roundtrip hike from 5947 feet to 7819 for a vertical rise of 1872 feet. Goat Mountain has 3 false peaks which have to be hiked first to reach the peak of Goat Mountain. It is like climbing 4 mountains. This hike was really a grueling hike. It had a total ascent of 3300 vertical feet. |
