Goat Creek — Friday, Jul. 23, 2004

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

The road to the Goat Creek trailhead was closed Saturday evening, July 23, due to ""extreme fire danger"". A volunteer Fire Patrol person told us that it will not re-open until the next good rain, at the earliest. All available firefighters were assigned to the Hoquiam fire, or they are in Iraq. This may mean that other National Forest trails will also be closed.
