We started out up Green Mtn. road, after several potholes and about 70 waterfalls (small ones, my kids counted), we made it past mile post 16 to snow on the road. We got out and started walking up the road and hidden by snow was the trailhead to goat flats. It was partially melted, enough to try it out, so we took off up the trail. Not long after the trail became the creek and we decided to go back.

The views on the way up were magnificent! Breathtaking!

Looking for warm, dry hiking with stunning views and a post-hike swim? Climb to the top of Steamboat Rock and ramble the butte top for dramatic views of Banks Lake and coulee country. Desert wildflowers and camping options sweeten the deal.
