Goat Peak is a 6,305-foot (1,922 m) peak in the North Cascades of Washington, United States. It is in the William O. Douglas Wilderness. The mountain is a popular day hike in the summer months, being that the summit offers broad views of the Methow River valley as well as many of the other prominent cascade peaks including glaciated Silver Star Mountain. A working US Forest Service fire lookout is located on the summit. The Goat Peak trailhead is accessible from Forest Road 52, 1 mile (1.6 km) southeast of Mazama. The trailhead lies at an elevation of 5,600 feet (1,700 m).
