"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Drive UpDrive up was easy enough. This whole area was burned over by the Ranch Fire in 2018. There's an automated camera lookout on top now. We tried to drive to Goat from here but couldn't find a workable road.

Yes the views are marvelous, with Gpat and Snow Mountains hulking behind.

Perfect dayCouldn't have asked for a better day. The drive up is beautiful and the road was in good shape. Stunning views. Glad the gate was closed. The mile walk up was nice and made me feel I earned the peak.
