Solo for Mt Goat - quick weekend trip

[Bruce Culberson]

I left after work on a Friday and drove North to the goat mountains. Got to the trail head at 11:30 PM and slept in the hatch-back for the night.

Hiked up Sat am as the fog rolled in. I hiked around the cliffs (in the fog, rain and sleet) for a couple hours but visibility was 50 to 70 yards. Set up the tent at 1pm and spent the rest of the day in it.

Woke up in the middle of the night and all the stars were out - yea it cleared off!

Coffee and oatmeal in the pre-dawn:



I was packed up and started hiking at daylight. Wasn't long and I walked up on these two. Pic was with my phone and looking into the sun.



I wasn't totally solo as I had my pal Ali with me:



I saw some beauty country and had a great trip. I put on 15km on Sunday, but didn't have enough time to track down any billies, maybe next time!





Hope you enjoy the pics!
