NEWS: Unsupported 124mi Goat Rocks Clover FKT Attempt

On Fri, Sep 9, 2022, I will make an unsupported and solo attempt of the “maxi” 124mi Goat Rocks Clover route. There’s currently a small fire in the Goat Rocks area, but all trails I have to be on are open (as of Thu, Sep 8, 2022).

The Goat Rocks Clover

Nestled between snow-capped Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams, the Goat Rocks wilderness is known for its stunning alpine scenery. One of the best sections of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail #2000 (PCT) leads through the middle of the Goat Rocks wilderness. Old Snowy (7,930ft) and Gilbert Peak (8,201ft) are the most notable peaks in the area.

The Goat Rocks Clover route combines quite possibly everything you will want to see in the Goat Rocks wilderness into one big (mini or maxi) adventure. More info here.

Dot watching

Tracking will be available in the embedded map below or at https://maps.findmespot.com/s/QZHW. I plan to start from the Scatter Creek trailhead in the early morning hours of Fri, Sep 9, 2022.
