7.23 miles of hiking • 4250' elevation gain •

Goat Peak was the home of a fire lookout so the views @ the summit are 360 degrees & fantastic. Rainier was visible during the climb up but the weather moved in while I was approaching the summit & Rainier disappeared behind a bank of clouds. Nice views of Fife Peak, Goat Rock Wilderness & Bumping Lake. At summit was even hailed on for a spell. Afterward hiked American Ridge for a bit before turning around and descending the way I came up.
