Goat Creek Trail is 5.5 miles long and begins in old growth Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. After 0.5 miles the trail passes underneath spectacular waterfalls, then follows Goat Creek. It crosses a small creek twice as it climbs to views of the forest below. The trail wanders near open meadows and rock cliffs before it meets with Goat Mountain Trail #217 south of Vanson Peak.
Special conditions: Wet in the spring and no bridges over stream crossings.
