Goat Mountain — Saturday, May. 7, 2022

Hannegan Pass Road was snow free to the trailhead. There was woody debris and mud in places so not ideal for low clearance vehicles. The trail had a lot of trees down before the snowline. Most were easy to negotiate, but a group around mile 1.5  required some crawling and was difficult with a large pack. Patchy snow starts at the Wilderness boundary at 3600 feet near mile 2, and gets solid soon after. Route finding and travel through avalanche terrain required to reach the lookout point. Nothing was blooming yet along the trail, but the skunk cabbage was bright along the road.
