About this event
Goat Island Mountain (7218 feet) is a very elongated high ridge on the northeastern flank of Mount Rainier, above White River. It is called Goat "Island" because during the Little Ice Age, the mountain was surrounded by a much expanded Emmons Glacier on its north, and a much longer Frying Pan Glacier to its south. Today, it is no longer an island, but it still feels like one, being surrounded by the Sunrise area of Mount Rainier National Park on its north, Mount Rainier and Little Taho
