Goat Rocks Stage 2 Day Stage

Poised between Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams, the Goat Rocks are the remnants of an ancient volcano, extinct for some two million years. Glaciation and erosion have worn away the landscape, sculpting it into an alpine park full of meadows, lakes, and craggy peaks. Renowned for its sharp and rugged ridgelines, it’s unquestionably the place to experience the soul of sky and alpine running.
