Goat Mountain — Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020

Parked in the the first lot on the left of the road. Started 815am and the trail start at an easy incline, basically all the way until you get to what people call the “balcony” from there the trail is unmaintained and goes straight up a steep meadow to a ridge which you take to the false summit. The berries were delicious and so were the views. I decided I wanted to push to the true summit, and I must say I’ve done a few scrambles and this one was scary! But the holds were good, the rock was mostly dry, and I found an ok route that I felt comfortable with. Once you get down the cliff the rest is nothing compared to what you just did just caution on the loose rock (lesser traveled trails=looser rock). You can kinda see the path up when you look at it from the false summit. The views were so worth it. I’m coming for goat East!
