Outdoor Recreation:
New Year's on Goat Mountain
I joined a group of old and new friends to celebrate the 2001 New Year
by climbing Goat Mountain in the North Cascades. We camped on the snow
New Year's Eve and began our climb the next morning just as the sun
was coming up. These photos tell the story and share the views.
