Goat Rocks: PCT Favorite






The trail from Trout Lake to White Pass is one of, or quite possibly IS my favorite area on the PCT so far. This section has it all: Alpine Meadows, Mountains, Volcanos, Glaciers, lakes, forests, wildlife, snow fields, waterfalls, huckleberries and wildflowers galore. Every day was a new experience. How can I describe the beauty we were surrounded by? They say a picture is worth a thousand words...




Mt Adams
This picture was taken from a stream where we stopped to have lunch and get water, in just one more day we would be at her base.




Pristine Lakes




Wildflowers (Lupines) Everywhere




Great Trail Tread

We hated to leave Goat Rocks :(
But we soon hit another milestone




Just 353 miles left - bittersweet

  2. Thanks for sharing the beauty of Goat Rocks Wilderness.

    The word "bittersweet" conveys much emotion.

    Be strong, be safe, be careful.
