Description
Between Goat Lake and Snowgrass Flat is an excellent alpine area. This is a better place to camp than Goat Lake because it is less windy and exposed to the weather if it gets bad.
There are about 10 campsites along here. Wherever you see a side trail, it probably leads to a campsite. There are several year-round streams for drinking water that cross the main trail. Campfires are allowed here and there are quite a few trees to supply firewood, but it's better to have a small fire to minimize impact. You're far enough away from any trailhead, and it's a large area, so it isn't too overrun with people.
