Goat Mountain, Hannegan Pass and Peak — Friday, Nov. 30, 2007

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

Weather on Baker was too gusty for backcountry skiing, so we went for a lower hike. The FS road to the trailheads is closed, so you have to park in the lot at HWY542. We walked on the road up to the Goat Mtn. trail, and then started up the switchbacks. Beautiful walk, nice snow, easy hiking in few inches of snow - definitely didn't need snowshoes or anything other than sturdy hiking boots. It was great!
