Lucky sunny day up Goat Mountain. Friends had been up the previous week and had cautioned that there was still a bit of snow to cross. Several warm days later, and no snow to be navigated at least as far as the saddle before the summit. Well worth the elevation gain, and well worth that last, hot, steep section. A pretty good candidate for an early-morning hike. Right after that the views open up (Sefrit, Shuksan, and Baker along with lots I don't know), and there are lots of spots to spread out for your snack :) Beware of bugs. I didn't find them terrible, but my partner did.
I'll be back :)
We stayed in Glacier, which I highly recommend and had pizza take out from Chair 9, which I highly highly recommend. Full bellies, tired legs.
