White Goat Mountain is a 7,800+ ft (2,380+ m) mountain summit located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of the North Cascades in Washington state.[3] The mountain is situated in Chelan County, on land managed by Wenatchee National Forest. Its nearest higher neighbor is Tupshin Peak, 0.7 mi (1.1 km) to the northeast, and Devore Peak is 1.02 mi (1.64 km) to the south.[1] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains to nearby Lake Chelan via Company and Devore Creeks. The first ascent was made September 10, 1940, by Everett and Ida Zacher Darr, Joe Leuthold, and Eldon Metzger.[4] A herd of mountain goats beneath the peak was their inspiration for so naming this geographical feature.[4]
