Goat Lake, by Karen Portin
We saw much variety on this hike: tumbling creek, waterfalls galore, serene lake, mountains covered with snow and fog, flowers, big old trees, skinny young alders, huge boulders, numerous cliffs, rain and more rain, some sun and even a goat! The goat sighting was above a waterfall near the small peninsula on the west side of the lake. It was so fun to see a goat at Goat Lake!
The hike itself is pretty easy and would be a good one on which to take friends in reasonably good shape as it does not have much elevation gain. The problem is refraining from incessantly taking photographs. There are so many beautiful and interesting things to photograph...
It is obvious I did not exercise self restraint: http://www.flickr.com/[…]/
