early spring hike on goat mountain. march 2019.

3/25/2019

We were expecting a sunny day for today's hike, but the weather forecast was a little off. Instead, it was a bit chilly with the overcast skies and wind. But since we still have almost a foot of snow on the ground at home, it was nice to find some bare ground to hike on in addition to the snow.

​We came across our first wildflower of the season on Goat Mountain today, discovered our first tick of the year, and enjoyed an abundance of beautiful views.

A buttercup adds a welcome bit of color to the barren landscape.

Looking to the southeast, the foothills of Ward Mountain rise up between the Sapphire Mountains and Goat Mountain.

The entrance to the Roaring Lion drainage runs between Ward Mountain to its south and Goat Mountain on the north.

Goat Mountain has plenty of rocky areas from which you can enjoy views of Ward Mountain and Roaring Lion.

The Sapphire Mountains provide a beautiful backdrop to the remaining effects of the Roaring Lion Fire of 2016.

As always, we enjoyed today's hike and look forward to our next one. Hoping to find more bare ground as the temperatures continue to rise, and maybe a little sunshine. :)
