Goat Mountain
About
Goat Mountain is a summit in Colorado, about 4.8 miles from the town of Roxborough Park. It makes a natural objective for hikers working the trails in this corner of the state, with the Goat Mountain Trail starting just 1.4 miles away. For comfortable conditions, aim for late summer into early fall. A nearby weather station in Evergreen typically averages September highs around 73°F and lows near 40°F. That station sits roughly 800 feet below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up top. July and August bring the most wet days of the year. Beyond the Goat Mountain Trail, the Scenic View Trail lies about 2.4 miles off and Fireblack Boulder about 3.3 miles away for climbers. Chatfield Campground, roughly 5.4 miles out, offers a place to camp.
