Description:

We’ll start our day by ascending Goat Ridge. Goat Lake will provide a wonderful rest spot as we take in the view of the Goat Rocks before us. The route will contour around the valley and continue ascending towards the PCT. Then it gets real! We will climb up Old Snowy Mountain, one of the highest points in the Goat Rocks Wilderness. Plan on encountering some snow! Keep your wits about you for the descent back to the PCT. The exploration continues south on the PCT before dropping back towards the finish through the valley.

Most of the trails are smooth, single track. There are some steep traverses, but with a good trail. The climb up and down Old Snowy Mountain will be a Class 2 scramble (maybe needing your hands in a few places but not a big danger of falling) on a primitive trail. There will most likely still be snow on the climb (microspikes and poles highly recommended). With the full climb, distance will be about 20 miles and around 5,500’ of elevation gain.
